The Wellness Trifecta Opportunity

78% of dog owners purchased from 4+ product categories last year—but only 11% of the market is buying supplements, dental care, and functional treats together. We call this the “Wellness Trifecta.”

Only 11% of dog owners purchase from all three wellness categories (supplements, dental care, and functional treats)—but those who do are dramatically more engaged:

  • Use 72% more health benefits as purchase drivers than average

  • Consult 66% more information sources when researching products

  • Purchase from 82% more product categories overall

  • Shop 55% more retail channels

Strategic implication: Converting two-category wellness buyers to the full ecosystem represents a high-value opportunity—and the data reveals exactly which benefits, formats, and channels resonate with bridge segments.

The full report includes 15+ segment profiles with this level of detail, plus cross-tabulations you can use to identify your specific audience.
