REATAILER WISHLIST

• Health alerts in a grass litter. — Tamie Waugh, Cobber’s Pet Pantry, Enumclaw, WA
• A litter that is affordable, doesn’t track, lasts and actually works at keeping the smell away. I lose customers to cheap litter that doesn’t work that great. They’ll dump cheap cat litter constantly before they’ll spend $40-plus on a bag. Because it comes down to affordability for most. — Jennifer Stanislawski, Eden Garden & Pets, West Allis, WI
• Easier to handle packaging. — Dawn Hanner, Eastside Dog, Redmond, WA
• More frequent-buyer programs for cat litter. MAP pricing would also be nice. — Cassie Nilsson, The Mill Stores, Whiteford, MD
• A truly dust-free, fragrance-free, biodegradable litter that clumps as well as clay, but doesn’t track and is gentle on sensitive paws. While there are great options, most have to sacrifice one benefit for another. More brand support for independent retailers, such as sampling programs, display-ready packaging and/or bundling promotions with litter box accessories. Customers are always looking to try something new in this category, but without a way to test or see the difference, they tend to stick with what they know. — Victor Santucci, Garden State Pet Center, Audubon, NJ
• Tofu litter that works with automatic litter boxes. — Julie Sterling, Julz Animal Houz, Marysville, WA
• More education, especially for litters that are not clay. — Sheena Kirkwood, Felicity’s Pet Supplies, Bellefonte, PA
• I wish that my distributors would carry tofu litter. It has become very popular with consumers. — Victoria Park, Park Pet Supply, Atlanta, GA
• Calming cat litter for homes with multiple cats. — Natalya Rokvic, Pets On Brady, Milwaukee, WI
• Less confusion! State clearly what the benefits are. — Kris Lamoreaux, Healthy Pets Mountain West, Cottonwood Heights, UT
• Pet-safe clip-on air fresheners. — Eric Mack, Purrrfect Bark, Columbus, NC
• Discounts for owners with multi-cat households. So many have three, four, five cats. — Maria Cetrola, Buddy’s Pet Shop, Beach Haven, NJ

• One that is truly low tracking. — Shelly Nicastro, Essex Bird Shop & Pet Supply, Essex, MA
• A window that shows the litter. Constantly getting asked or if customers can open up the bag to see before buying. — Lori Colburn, Nature’s Pet Market Orenco, Hillsboro, OR
