Perfect f r Pets... Everyone loves their animals, but pet owners aged 18-34 are more likely than older owners to purchase grooming items, feeding accessories, toys and other supplies, according to market research firm Mintel. The high 16 Spray October 2013 incidence of purchase may reflect the fact that some are in need of supplies that older owners have already purchased; however, some young adults also have a tendency to treat pets as if they were children or human family members, which drives discretionary spending. Innovative natural products and those that promote pet health are likely to play a key role in driving category growth between 2012 and 2016, said Mintel. That’s why Fetch…for pets! launched a new line of natural dog care products in a licensing partnership with Burt’s Bees Licensing, LLC. Formulated especially for dogs, Burt’s Bees Natural Pet Care is a range of natural grooming and oral care products inspired by Burt’s Bees’ co-founder, Burt, and his love for his own dogs. According to the company, the product line brings nature’s solutions to beloved pets and upholds the natural standards of all Burt’s Bees products, including its commitment to a minimum of 95% natural ingredients. Burt’s Bees Natural Pet Care Products are crueltyfree, pH balanced for pets and contain no parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or sulfates.  Sprays in the line include Soothing Hot Spot Spray and Multicare Dental Spray. Packaging is made from post-consumer recycled materials and the bottles are also designed to be recyclable. Pet deodorant products represented 44% of the total U.S. pet supplies market in 2011 and have played a key role in driving sales growth in recent years, noted Mintel. One such product is Spot Shot Pet Instant Carpet & Stain Odor Eliminator from WD-40 Co. Spot Shot helps eliminate tough pet stains and their equally tough odors. It is specially formulated to get out the worst stains, including cat urine, dog feces and the alwayspopular dirty or greasy paw prints, while still being gentle to carpet’s fibers. Spot Shot’s new non-toxic pet formula was created specifically for pet problems, and is safe to use around animals when used as directed. The can is manufactured by DS Containers. SPRAY
