Although the Baltic’s population is just 7million it has an increasing number of dog owners and a buoyant pet industry including a mix if independent pet retailers, veterinary practices and animal hospitals.
Says George Burns, Managing Director, Land of Holistic Pets, “there is an emerging market in Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia which we intend to corner. Our distributor has an established customer base of international brands and an excellent distribution network. Russia and the Ukraine are right on the Baltics doorstep and we believe there are huge opportunities here to grow our brands – Robbie’s and Luath’s holistic recipes.
Adds Daiva Medalinskiene who also owns the leading pet grooming salon in Vilnius, Lithuania, ‘We have been distributing high quality pet products for many years and there has been an increasing demand from our pet outlets for equally high quality pet food. Our pet owners are nutritionally aware and continue to seek premium products for their dogs. We have a similar retail structure in the Baltic’s as the UK and there is no reason why we can’t also benefit from the best pet products in the world – we are delighted to distribute for Land of Holistic Pets, the company has an excellent product base and reputation.’
