Today’s fast pace almost requires your business to be available to customers online. That includes pet supplies.
In fact, with pet ownership growing, and 69 million American families owning dogs, you can bet a store like Pet Evolution, that does more than a dog food delivery franchise, can offer pet food delivery and more than stores that only do online food ordering and delivery.
What are the “Pawsitives” of a Dog Food Delivery Franchise?
Convenience
People love shopping online.
Let’s face it, it’s a digital world out there. The convenience of browsing an online store has finally surpassed in-person shopping. Sure, it took until 2019 for buying online to overtake buying in brick-and-mortar stores, but the convenience factor of online shopping is a huge draw for people leading busy lives.
Clicking through an online dog food delivery franchise website can be done fast, at any time of day, and in a fraction of the time a trip to the pet store takes.
Some pet food delivery franchises offer subscription services, so shoppers can set up a routine order that simply arrives at an interval that works for their pet. They don’t even have to remember to place the order. It simply shows up when they need it to.
Safety
Not only does pet food delivery from online shopping save time, it can feel safer. We don’t have to get in cars and drive busy roads to get to the pet store. We also don’t have to brave being in public at a time when people are more conscious than ever of how germs are spread.
With a few clicks of the mouse, we can have what we need shipped right to our front door from a complete pet store like Pet Evolution or a dog food delivery franchise. It’s convenient and safe.
Informative
Shopping in person can be more immersive than shopping online, but that’s not always as informative as buying online can be. Many pets have special dietary needs, and pet stores or dog food delivery franchises can have extensive nutrition information online where pet parents can learn exactly what they need to make healthy food choices for their dogs.
Pet food home delivery franchises take advantage of the way shoppers engage with a website as opposed to how they shop in person. Descriptions are given dedicated space on website product pages. People also take time reading reviews, understanding ingredients and getting informed on the differences in different pet foods.
Those things are harder to do face-to-face, though at Pet Evolution, our employees are readily available to answer all questions our customers have in person, too. We are also just a phone call away.
Ordering from a dog food delivery franchise or from a complete pet store such as Pet Evolution just makes sense.
Pet Evolution Has Everything a Dog Food Delivery Franchise Has and More
Pet Evolution has an advantage over other pet food delivery franchises.
First, Pet Evolution carefully vets each and every pet food vendor we stock in our stores. This is because our co-founders, Mike and Rian, grew up owning pets who suffered chronic ear infections and skin irritations because of undiagnosed food allergies.
We don’t want any animals to suffer needlessly. We can’t speak for other pet food delivery franchise services, but Pet Evolution only offers pet foods we know will not cause harm to animals.
Things to know before start thinking about a pet food delivery franchise
Next, we designed a pet food guide that simplifies the pet food buying experience for our customers. It’s prominently displayed on our website so customers can refer to it easily while browsing our pet food products.
The guide consists of three categories:
- Select foods – These foods contain no artificial colors or flavors, wheat, soy, corn, or by-products, and are made with humanely sourced meats.
- Classic foods – These foods have the advantages of the Select foods with the addition of higher protein sources. Some of them may contain fruits and/or vegetables.
- Signature foods – This category has all the benefits of Select and Classic foods, with the additional feature of being raw or freeze-dried for a nutrient rich diet as close to that found in the wild.
In addition to our pet food guide, our website also contains a Food Transition Guide.
This is designed to guide pet parents through helping their pets switch from the foods they’re on to the top quality foods offered through the Pet Evolution pet store. This should be something every dog food delivery franchise aims to do.
Dogs can have sensitive stomachs, so switching foods immediately can be hard on their digestion. Going slowly is kinder and less distressing to the animal. Using our transition guide keeps pets from feeling too poorly and minimizes accidents.
