Pet Planet Launches Health and Nutrition Kiosk for Pets
Pet Planet, which opened its first store in 1996, launched a web-based program called H.A.N.K., a pet Health and Nutrition Kiosk, designed to assist and educate customers with recommendations for their pets.
Having grown from one Calgary location 15 years ago by Laura Leah English and her mother Joan Bauer, Pet Planet stores total 44 in North America and average 2,500 square foot per store. Offering health food and nutritional products for pets, Pet Planet offers franchise opportunities.
As a pet supply health store chain, the company adopted the Guardianship Movement in Canada and now is gaining attention in the United States. English and her mother aim to have a “more ethical retail store” and their Guardianship program offers 12 points for to help consumers with healthy and “trusted” products.
The new web-based kiosk program is designed to allow ease of use and be consistent, educational, and accurate with recommendations for pet products. Customers answer a few questions about their pet and at the end, the Nutritional and Health Consultation will suggest recommendations for food, supplements, treats, toys, and offer access to the education center. The database will send results to the customer’s e-mail address for further access. The pet’s health file will be accessible any time Pet Planet customers return to the store so that information can be reviewed and/or updated.
English stated, “Pet Planet has focused strictly on the total health, wellness and welfare of pets. We have vocally and successfully advocated for change in the area of pet acquisition, we have provided information and education material that has helped thousands of families make better health decisions for their pets, and we have become a trusted resource that helps to clarify the confusion associated with a “hot” industry full of unscrupulous marketing strategies and misinformation.”
