Petsmart Chewy Case Study

Several strengths exist in operating a mobile grooming service. The strengths are that PetSmart will go to the home or office of the customer saving them time. The environment is less stressful for the client and the pet because the pet will be in a familiar place. The service is perfect for senior pets along with being a sanitary, safe and healthy environment. PetSmart also offers weekend appointments for all customers and potential customers. Since a representative from the company goes to the client the pets have no exposure to other animals, disease or parasites. The company offers evening and weekend appointments and customers never have to be troubled with the pet having car sickness or even having to put their pet in a cage. A weakness

There are usually too many multiple animals that the employees are taking care of, so they usually don’t catch a lot of illnesses that puppies can contract such as, canine distemper, parvovirus, and severe gastrointestinal disorders that they are prone to while at the pet store.

Operating in 1197 stores in North America, PetSmart "is the largest specialty retailer of services and solutions for the lifetime needs of pets" (PetSmart.com.PetSmart Corporate: Investor Relations. 2012). The business of pets and pet care continues to be a thriving and growing industry; "the American Pet Products Association, or "APPA, estimated the calendar year 2010 market at approximately $47.7 billion, an increase of more than 180% since calendar year 1994" (PetSmart.com. Investor Relations. Annual Report. 2010). The industry's size and scope provides opportunities for a range of business to compete for the pet owner's discretionary spending; as such PetSmart must constantly innovate and offer consumers value across their business model. The ongoing streamlining of the company's value chain offers insight into two "big ideas" of economics: markets and voluntary exchange, and choices and incentives.

Representatives have approached breeder’s Own Pet Foods, Inc. from Marketing Momentum Unlimited, a marketing and advertising consulting firm. The reason for the meeting was to discuss the company’s possible entry into the retail branded dog food market in the Boston market.

The over-arching problem that Breeder’s Own Pet Foods has is which marketing-strategy would best serve as a vehicle for entry into the dog food retail business. Additionally, it has to select the most prominent geographic location (s) for distribution of its product. Another root problem component is how to get the supermarkets to stock and distribute this dog food since it is in the frozen category and may not appeal to traditional dog food buyers because they don’t readily associate dog food with frozen goods.
