Why Branding is Important

Branding isn't just about a logo; it's about building trust. Customers want to buy from brands they recognise and brands they can trust for quality, health and reliability. We have been supplying the UK from Lancashire since 1937.

Our rigorous quality control ensures only the best treats leave our factory, providing dogs with delicious and healthy treats. This is just as important for stores, ensuring every brand you stock delivers the best option for every pet, and tells customers that you value the reliability and consistency of trusted brands. 

Driving Repeat Sales

Once your treats are purchased, it’s only natural for them to keep coming back for more, especially when they realise how much their dogs absolutely love them. This means owners are far more likely to turn and try to find the exact same treats or brand that they previously bought.

We are well known for our delicious pig ears, meat filled bones and roasted bones – all 100% natural. But stocking our treats in your store ensures customers can easily purchase their favourites when also buying dog food and accessories.

Boosting Profit Margins

With bulk deals and trade discounts available to our customers, you can boost profit margins using branded dog treats. Whilst you receive a discount on larger order, branded products can still be sold at a higher price point. This allows all stores and retailers we work with to maintain healthy profit margins, whilst still delivering quality, 100% natural treats.

Standing out vs The Competition

Bold, colourful packaging can make a huge difference in a crowded pet aisle or amongst a huge selection of different treats. You want the attention, and it must be eye catching.

Our beautiful green packaging is the perfect solution to stop your customers in their tracks and ensure they find the perfect treat. Not only does our packaging look incredible, but being air dried and in resealable packs, it’s made to be long lasting, with a shelf life over 12 months (not that you’ll need it!).

Benefits Over Private Label

Whilst private label treats can be a good option for businesses, branded dog treats bring both short and long-term benefits to every store:

• Trust & Recognition: Shoppers who know the brand trust T.Forrest, whilst new customers will keep coming back once their dogs try our treats
• Proven Quality: We have strict quality control, ensuring all treats are air dried and 100% natural, for only the best flavour and health benefits
• Catch customer's eye: Our beautiful packaging helps to catch the eye of your customers, ensuring our treats stand out and encourage customers to buy
• Marketing Support: Our brand is continuously growing, which only supports your sales in store as customers become more and more familiar with T.Forrest
• Reduced Risk: Using trusted brands reduces some of the risk, and with a long shelf life and free next day delivery, you can easily manage stock control through slow and busy periods.

Not to mention that we go above and beyond for all of our customers, and suppliers too.
