Published: 09/2009
All the team at Pedigree Wholesale are passionate about the independent pet trade and are totally committed to provide the best possible support to help independent retailers run successful businesses. Providing retailers with excellent new product ranges to keep the retailers till ringing with genuine extra sales is one part of the superior service Pedigree Wholesale provide. In its latest range extension, Pedigree Wholesale are delighted to announce 2 new product groups to add to its already extensive product portfolio.
Burns nutrition
Pedigree Wholesale have been appointed as the first national distributor of the Burns range of foods for dogs & cats. The highly successful Burns product range offers a different and far simpler approach to pet nutrition. Burns provide holistic, high quality natural diets which meet the specific nutritional requirements of dogs and cats, providing a basis for good health.
There are Burns products that can replace most veterinary/prescription foods, naturally maintaining a healthy skin and coat, digestive and immune system, but at a fraction of the cost. This makes the Burns product range not only ideal for pets but also an ideal extra sales opportunity for retailers. Burns pet foods are available exclusively through the independent pet trade, meaning that you can stock and recommend with complete confidence, building a loyal customer base for on-going repeat business.
One of the secrets to Burns success is the quality of nutritional advice they provide direct to pet owners. Consumers can call the Burns Nutrition team on a direct free phone number (0800 083 66 96) who will be able to advise which diet is a suitable replacement for veterinary/prescription diets as well as providing ongoing nutritional support and advice. Burns can recommend a diet to substitute most veterinary / prescription diets available. Burns are very happy to provide retailers with free sample bags, enabling consumers to ‘try before they buy’
Veterinary Medicines
Yet another fantastic opportunity to grow your sales and profit from Pedigree Wholesale who are now stocking the popular flea and worm treatments Frontline and Drontal. These products were previously only available with a prescription from the vet but are now available to be dispensed, without prescription, by a suitably qualified person (SQP). If you would like more information about SQP’s call the Pedigree Customer Services team on 0115 982 3900.
Available as a Spot On for the prevention and treatment of flea and tick infestations and the control of biting lice Frontline is a veterinary strength treatment providing long lasting protection. For treating worms Drontal is the only wormer to kill every type of intestinal worm commonly found in dogs and cats.
Purchasing pet healthcare products over the counter rather than from the vet is widely regarded as the best value option and with the recent economic downturn leading to many consumers seeking out this option now has never been a better time to reinforce this message. For those consumers who always go to the vet to purchase Frontline and Drontal, retailers can now keep their customers happy by removing the need to visit the vet as well as offering better value for money and importantly for the independent pet trade – gain genuine new sales!
