Petco’s new product lines focuses on humans (you read that right)

posted in: All news | 0

Petco, the San Diego-based pet goods and pet care retailer, is turning a new leaf by focusing on the other half of the pet equation: humans.

“For the first time ever, Petco is launching ‘My Human,’ a category for the two-legged customers who boldly embrace the pet-obsessed lifestyle,” the company announced.

These hundreds of items include clothing, throw pillows, planters, games and other “cheeky, giftable finds,” a news release said.

The “In My Cat Mom Era” T-shirt pays homage to both Taylor Swift and felinity. A slouchy sloth planter is one easy way to bring a sloth into your home, because those pets are illegal in California without a special permit.

Petco’s website shared one statistic that explains this expansion: In a February survey, 90% of “pet parents” said they want to buy pet-themed human products.

The store has also launched its Halloween line, with more than 400 items. These include a “viral jumbo pumpkin spice latte” dog toy that is 46 inches tall and costs $60 and a $6 cowboy costume for your bearded dragon.
