Stocking Dog Treats in Your Garden Centre: A Quick-Start Guide

Garden centres already have one big advantage most retailers would envy: a steady stream of dog owners who bring their dogs along for what is usually a relaxed, unhurried weekend visit. That is a ready-made audience for a treat range, if it is set up in the right place.

Why garden centres are a natural fit

Visitors are browsing, not rushing, and many garden centres already have a pet or outdoor living section that sits comfortably next to a natural treat display. Our garden centre programme covers exactly this crossover, positioning treats as part of the same relaxed, quality-led shopping experience as the rest of the centre.

Getting the placement right

Treats sell best near where dog owners are already looking, whether that is a pet accessories aisle or the checkout at the café. Stocking Woof Nuts trade packs and Pawhawk Steak trade packs alongside a small retail-facing shelf gives you both a bulk option and an easy single-pack impulse buy.

• Position stock near the pet or outdoor living section, not buried in general retail
• Use a small sample bowl at the café till so dogs and owners both notice
• Highlight "natural" and "UK-made" on shelf talkers, it matters to this audience

Starting small
