CUSTOMIZATION
Direct-to-consumer pet food services have seen rapid growth
in recent years as they adapt quickly to consumer needs.

P
Pet ownership skyrocketed during the pandemic at the
same time consumers were turning to e-commerce for
their shopping, and both trends simultaneously contributed
to significant growth in direct-to-consumer pet
food subscription services.
" Many brands struggled with supply chain issues, and
stores struggled with keeping products on their shelves, "
said Nicole Sumner, senior brand manager for New York
City-based Ollie, regarding market conditions during
the pandemic. " Shopping via direct-to-consumer and
utilizing a subscription-based company like ours offered
greater dependability and convenience. There are many
indicators that this behavior is keeping up, even though
life has largely returned to normal. "
Increasing demand for doorstep delivery
About one in five American households added a pet during
the pandemic, and 56% of US households now own a
dog, Sumner said. With pet ownership and the humanization
of pets on the rise, consumers are more willing to consider
a dog food with human-grade ingredients and more
likely to consider a subscription-based service, she added.
These trends have translated into segment growth.
Before the pandemic began, it was estimated that 24% of
pet food sales would occur online by 2024. As it turned
out, 27% of pet food sales took place online in 2020, and
the new expectation is that 35% of pet food sales will be
completed through e-commerce by 2024, Sumner said.
" The value proposition is really what's drawing interest
and growth, " said Russell Breuer, chief executive
officer of New York City-based Spot & Tango. " That
includes everything from product quality and free delivery
to the personalization of our product offering.
Consumers increasingly have needs, wants and desires
that brick-and-mortar brands and retail can't offer. "
Annina Silverman, chief marketing officer for
Pittsburgh-based Tailored Pet Nutrition, said in addition
to the convenience, the curated nature of subscription
