Pets are no longer just animals – they are a family.
And for the American millions, and this means treating them like one. Clothes, birthdays, distinguished food, spa days – called whatever you want.
Note retail dealers. According to the American pet products Association, the US pet spend in the United States amounted to $ 151.9 billion in 2024, and this number will continue to climb.

Trust me when I say I Get He – is. When people ask me if I live alone, I always say, “No – I live with my son.” Then I follow them with a picture of Bentley, Malatepo, 10 years old, in a gentle Hodi who is ridiculed.
Now one of the main players is making a bold boost in that space, and the fans are already crowded.
The boltal -animal brand is aimed at competing in the growth category
TARGET has fixed its commercial animal brand, Boots & Barkley, with a huge re -launch designed to take over competitors like Chewy, Amazon and even Walmart.
Special designation update offers more than 150 new products through foods, games, clothes and accessories. While Boots & Barkley has been present since 2009, this is the biggest reinvention so far. It comes in a moment when shoppers are ready to boast about their pets, even while they are reduced elsewhere.

“The pets are part of the family, and our team went on everything to create the Boots & Barkley to bring joy to the pets and their parents,” said Amanda Nosz, Vice President of Trade, Basics and Beauty.
Target says that about 70 % of shoppers are pet owners, so when the team monitored a large gap between basic pet equipment and the most amount of design, they saw an opportunity to raise their offers-without raising prices.
Boots & Barkley is now strongly elegant, functional and value, while maintaining more than half of the elements less than $ 10.
The goal doubles the pet’s strategy to challenge competitors
While the goal is not strange to the dominance of private brands (thought: good, plural and threshold), this step exceeds a lot of trade.
It is a strategic play to seize a greater share of the prosperous pet welfare economy.
Competitors like Walmart expanded their offers and even brands at home. Meanwhile, Chewy continues to control comfort and biography. Refresh Target aims to mix both-to provide a distinct design and value, with the ease of capturing the store and delivery on the same day.
The company has also dramatically expanded the shelf space for pet products in many of its reshaped stores, and highlights the new line in its application and weekly support-that this is not a seasonal bet, but it is a long-term batch.
With pets expected to reach $ 157 billion in 2025, this category can be one of the most profitable growth areas in retail.
PUP Bentley is already looking forward to the new-my-bodly collection of expansion of complete shopping in its very near future. Someone hides my target application.
