Pets continue to play a major role in the lives and households of many consumers, even occupying stronger positions in society, either in roles such as guard dogs and guide dogs, but also as close companions, motivators (used for teaching, for example) and for therapeutic reasons. Therefore, the demand for all kinds of pet products to enhance the health, comfort and wellbeing of pets keeps growing.
