Guides

Guides are the practical, how-to layer of GlobalPetIndex: the operational and regulatory knowledge that pet businesses and owners need in order to act, rather than the market analysis covered elsewhere in our research library.

This section brings together two collections. How-To covers sourcing, importing, labelling, compliance and product development for trade professionals. Pet Care covers animal husbandry, nutrition, behaviour and welfare for owners and for the professionals who advise them. Every guide is written to be applied, and sets out the definitional context and the standards that apply in the major pet markets. Where a guide touches a regulated area it links to the underlying policy reporting and to the companies and product categories affected, so a practical question can be traced back to the market data behind it.
