Top Products to Stock Your Shelves with for 2023 – Pet Business Magazine

Spring is loved by all for the way it awakens our senses and evokes memories from years gone by. The first glimpses of green, the fresh scents of new growth, the chirping of birds, and the buzzing of insects all remind us that spring has arrived. Bright, colorful displays appear in our favorite local places, and pets and their owners can be seen enjoying the longer days. Each aspect of spring brings with it a sense of warmth and nostalgia, reminding us of the beauty that lies ahead after a long, cold winter.
These longer, warmer days create opportunities for pet retailers to help foster these feelings of springtime bliss in their customers, with fresh assortments that highlight favorite activities of the season. Pet Palette Distribution has curated a winning 2023 Spring Collection and we’ve broken down each product category with top pet brands and best-selling items to ensure a strong kick-off to spring selling.
SPRINGTIME PLAYDATES

While Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and Easter collections inevitably take center stage in Q1 and Q2, it can be a challenge to ensure the lesser commercialized themes get their time in the sun. Sustainable, recycled, and cause-driven toys from Spunky Pup, Project Hive, Planet Dog, and Snugarooz will create the perfect aesthetic for your Earth Day display and continue to thrive in the summer months. Smaller displays comprised of the right everyday toys from brands like BARK,Pearhead,ZippyPaws, andJax & Bones can be an opportunity to highlight springtime events like Cinco de Mayo with little investment risk, as the products will still have longevity after the holiday’s selling period ends. Sodapup,Haute Diggity Dog, and Outward Hound may also have exactly what you’re looking for to round out your spring displays.
PICNIC TREATS & SEASONAL EATS

Kitschy themed treats from brands like Bocce’s Bakery, The Lazy Dog Cookie Co. & Spunky Pup, whose playful flavors and packaging showcase what we love about this time of year – are great staples to have in your spring treat assortment. DIY treat kits that combine shelf-stable mixes from Puppy Cake and The Bear & The Rat with treat and topper molds from Messy Mutts are a great way to inspire pet owners to create their own baked and frozen goodies. Another thing to consider including in your spring consumables set are functional treats and supplements that target certain ailments many pets struggle with every year. The Missing Link, Pet Releaf, and Proden PlaqueOff offer several great remedies and preventatives. Single and limited ingredient treats from brands like Vital Essentials, Icelandic+, Polkadog, and Plato Pet Treats can also help combat unwanted symptoms.
KITTEN SEASON

We can’t forget to show our feline friends some love! Spring is the season of kittens, and pet stores must be ready with all of the supplies that cat adopters will need to bring home with their new fur-kid. In a nutshell – they’ll need a collar from Up Country, litter and feeding accessories from Messy Mutts, some tasty “noms” from Bocce’s Bakery, Kitty Kitty, and Vital Essentials, a snuggly Yeti Pet Cavefor them to hide in, and fun catnip toys from Yeowww!,ZippyClaws, and Pearheadto keep them busy. 
SPRING CLEANING

With the Spring, comes the mud and the bugs. Pet owners will be looking for the safest and most effective ways to combat both. Gone are the days of harmful chemical preventatives, now is the time for safer choices. Fleas and ticks beware! Wondercide is coming for you with sprays, collars, and topicals. Grooming and wellness products from Skout’s Honor use probiotics to promote skin and coat health and eliminate odor. Both brands are plant-powered and highly effective against many of the skin and coat challenges that the season brings. As far as mud goes, the in-house groomers will handle the brunt of it, but Messy Mutts also has some options to help pet parents with quick clean ups. 
WALKABOUTS AND ROADTRIPS

Last, but not least – is spring walking. Find the perfect blend of fashion and function with walking gear from FuzzYard, EzyDog, and Up Country. Make sure your consumers are prepared for “longer walkies” by offering LED accessories from Nite Ize to help navigate at night, stylish bag dispensers from Jax & Bones and planet-friendly bags from Earth Rated that can make those “outdoor chores” a little more tolerable. 
As the seasons change, there are countless ways to rejuvenate your business. We hope our suggestions have inspired you to take action. Keep your displays fresh and entice your customers by introducing new and exciting products that will ignite their excitement for spring. Your friends at Pet Palette Distribution wish you the best of luck as you assemble your 2023 Spring Collection, and we’re always just a click away.
