The Pet’s Piano by MY INTELLIGENT PET. We didn’t run any promotions, but since we recommend treat puzzles often for enrichment purposes, it’s an easy sell once you show off the multiple difficulty levels. We sold about a dozen units at $68 each. Angela Velasquez, The Kitty Bodega, Houston, TX

CANOPHERA Coffee Wood! We brought in a display box of all sizes after getting a sample in the PETS+ Sample Box, and they flew out! We can’t wait to get our next shipment. Elaina Stanley, Three Happy Hounds, Fernley, NV

  • MOMENTUM CARNIVORE NUTRITION Duck Heads! It doesn’t hurt that we have the basket on the bottom shelf, and many dogs make the selection on their own … but these are a healthy natural snack at a reasonable price. Sold 39 heads at $4.95 each. — Susan Weyrauch, Total Dog Company, New Hope, MN
  • I cannot believe how many DR MARTY’S Essential Wellness 80-ounce bags we sell. The whole line is kind of a “PHENOM” — it has a crazy following! People come in very single-minded, looking for that line and that line only. It is only over time that a few even begin to look at anything else we have in the store. — Rebeca Santos, Pets, Love and Happiness, Huntsville, AL
  • Stews. Any can with juice or that has extra gravy moisture was a hot ticket mid-summer. NULO stews did great. Now the Cold Pressed by NULO is flying out of the store. We sold 91 units in July. — Eric Berry, R.J. Paddywacks, Carbondale, CO
  • We sold 20+ PUPLID Trucker hats. Dogs of all sizes, pet parents of all walks of life loved the hat — OK, maybe not all the dogs. They retail for $25 and $26. I only carry two colors, and that is really all I need. It was so fun to watch one dog prance out the door, and within an hour we would get three more coming in to get a hat. — Amy Wolf, The Dog Spot, Joseph, OR
  • We brought in JOLLY PETS, and the Soccer Balls immediately flew off the shelves. Small is $20, and large is $24. They come in three different colors, and merchandise in little boxes that display them nicely. — Jennifer Flanagan, Pacific NW Pets, Sherwood, OR
  • We sold a lot of CAT DANCER toys — about 60 at $6.08 each. They have become so popular, and we keep a lot in stock since customers tend to get several at a time. They work well to occupy naughty cats is my guess! Cat owners are learning more about their behaviors as time goes on, which is a good thing! — Morgan Monty, The Cheshire Horse, Swanzey, NH
  • HOME RANGE Furs-Bees! We sold over four cases. The unique round, flat shape allows dogs of all shapes and sizes to enjoy a great interactive treat. The feedback from clients was that they felt they never had to worry about a choking hazard, no matter what the breed chewing. — Savanna Skinner, The Savvy Dog, Longview, WA
  • More than 100 BOCCE’S BAKERY Burgers & Fries biscuits! We put them on promotion and stuck them at the register. They flew! — Nicole Cammack, NorthPoint Pets, Cheshire, CT
  • HEALTHY ROOTS CBD Oil for the holiday. We sold 54 bottles of the oil in the first four days, and ended the month with 104 bottles sold. That’s after selling 128 bottles in June. We sell other brands of CBD, but this is our best seller. No sale, but we did put signs all over the store reminding people to get their CBD before the holiday. — Jennifer Larsen, Firehouse Pet Shop, Wenatchee, WA
  • Our top-selling products showcased the diverse needs of our customers’ pets! FARMINA Cat Urinary canned food led the pack with 80 units sold, proving to be a favorite for cats requiring urinary support. Our live feeders for reptiles were in high demand, with an impressive 5,609 units sold, totaling $1,200 — essential for keeping our scaly friends happy and healthy. HEALTH EXTENSION Chicken & Pumpkin cat cans also saw significant sales, with 75 units sold, catering to cats who love a tasty and nutritious meal. — Victor Santucci, Garden State Pet Center, Audubon, NJ
