People Pets Case Study: Pet Food Product

The Challenge

Though at least 57.2% of veterinarian offices did not allow pet owners into their locations in the early months of the pandemic, more recent numbers estimate that 80% of offices now allow owners back into waiting and exam rooms with their pets. With 74.2% of offices reporting that they display Take-One Education Materials, this return to the waiting room creates a prime opportunity for brands to target pet owners, especially those who may be seeking healthier opportunities for their cat or dog.

To reach this audience, Targeted Media Health worked with People Pets to create a Guide specifically for veterinarian offices which would advertise the pet food product. The 16-page special edition issue featured a cover story with country singer Trisha Yearwood where she speaks about her lifelong love of animals. The guides were sent to 2,000 targeted veterinarian offices over three months in 2021.
