Jul 3rd 2025
In today’s competitive pet retail market, creating an inviting, engaging, and functional store layout can be the difference between browsing and buying. Whether you operate a boutique pet shop or a larger specialty store, how you display your products has a profound impact on your sales. One proven strategy? Investing in versatile, high-impact displays that captivate your customers’ attention while elevating your store’s visual appeal.
Below, we’ll explore how smart merchandising with beautiful wood and metal fixtures—like gondola shelving, wall displays, bakery-style bins, and rolling units—can transform your pet store and boost your bottom line.
Showcase in Style: Wood Slatwall Gondola Display
Display Highlight: Wood Slatwall Lozier Gondola with Sign Holder (96W x 84H x 25D)
Built on the trusted Lozier frame, this birch wood slatwall display makes a stunning backdrop behind service counters or anchor aisles. Its adjustable sign holder helps guide customers, spotlight promotions, and elevate your brand.
Why it Works:
-
Custom-stainable to match your store’s vibe
-
Compact footprint, big vertical impact
-
Great for bulky products like dog food
Side Shelving for Everyday Essentials
Organize health and grooming products using compact, vertical shelving. Grouping by theme—like travel kits, shampoos, or supplements—makes shopping intuitive. Add paw-print signage and chalkboard headers for charm.
Tip: Eye-level placement drives action. Place fast movers in the middle, with add-ons above and below.
Bakery Vibes = Treat Station Success
Display Highlight: Baker's Wood™ Gondola with Bakery Shelves & Bins
Rustic wood bins evoke freshness and discovery. This setup invites customers (and their pups) to browse and pick their favorite chews—from tripe twists to cod fish skins.
Why it Works:
-
Encourages impulse buys
-
Pet-friendly height and easy access
-
Flexible signage helps rotate offers
Let Customers—and Dogs—Browse Freely
Low-positioned wooden bins invite dogs to sniff and explore, creating a fun, interactive experience that often leads to impulse buys. When pets engage directly with the product, their humans follow.
The CavaCase Max 48" Wood Wine Rack is perfect for this. Its crate-style cubbies—originally designed for wine—beautifully showcase treats, bundles, or chew assortments at pet-friendly height. With adjustable display angles and optional “X” dividers, it’s versatile, visually appealing, and ideal for positioning near checkouts or high-traffic aisles. Plus, its hand-stained wood finish adds a premium feel to your display strategy.
Rustic Bread Displays Beyond the Bakery
Display Highlight: Wood Bread Display Store Fixture, 14 Shelves
Inspired by bakery cooling racks, this double-sided gondola gives your treats a “fresh from the oven” feel. Adjustable wood shelves and dump bins accommodate everything from jerky packs to bulk biscuits.
