Decode Pet Food & Care Shoppers. Capture eCommerce Growth.. The Pet Food & Care Spotlight gives a focused view of how pet owners shop online, what drives their satisfaction and loyalty, and where friction still exists. In a concise read, you’ll see online penetration and trends, the mix of omnichannel behavior, the decision factors and barriers that matter most, and the CSAT/NPS levels and drivers that point to the fastest levers for growth.. Executive Summary. Pet Care is one of the strongest-performing digital categories, with over 40% of shoppers purchasing online in the past three months.
