Pet supply stores have the highest repeat purchase rates on Shopify.
Pet food, flea treatments, grooming products — pet owners buy on a consistent schedule because their pet depends on it. The repeat purchase rate is high. What is lower is the percentage who remember to reorder from you before running out. A timed reminder fixes that.
Pet owners are high-intent, time-pressured repeat buyers
Running out of pet food is not an inconvenience — it is a problem that needs solving that day. Customers who receive a timely reminder act on it. Customers who do not get a reminder search for the closest or fastest option, which may not be your store.
Pet owners are habitual buyers — the product type drives regularity even without a subscription model.
A 5kg bag fed at a consistent daily amount depletes at a rate you can calculate — and configure precisely in Reorder Reminder Pro.
Running low on pet food or flea treatment creates immediate purchase intent. A timed reminder captures that moment before the customer looks elsewhere.
Typical usage day configuration for pet supply stores
Usage days are configured by you — adjust to match your specific products and the feeding or dosing guidance on the label.
Every customer gets their reminder on their timeline
Two customers both buy a 5kg bag of dry dog food on different days. Both feed their dog 200g per day. The bag lasts 25 days. Configured usage days: 25.
No batch email. Each customer gets their reminder 25 days after they specifically bought — not on an arbitrary campaign date.

How do I configure reminder timing for different dog or cat sizes?
Configure usage days based on the typical duration for the pack size you sell. A 2kg bag of dog food feeding a 10kg dog (200g/day) lasts 10 days. A 5kg bag at the same rate lasts 25 days. Enter the usage days that match how long the pack typically lasts for your average customer. If you sell multiple pack sizes as separate SKUs, configure each size separately in Manual Mode.
Can I set different reminder timing for dog food vs cat food vs flea treatment?
Yes. Manual Mode lets you configure usage days per product. Your 5kg dog food might last 20 days; your 2kg cat food might last 30 days; your 3-month flea treatment gets a 90-day reminder. Each product has its own cadence, and every customer's reminder fires from their specific purchase date.
What about seasonal products like flea and tick treatments?
Flea and tick treatments are typically monthly or quarterly — 30 or 90 day usage periods. Configure accordingly. Customers who buy a 3-pack get a reminder at 90 days; customers who buy a single-dose get a reminder at 30 days. The reminder arrives when they are likely due for their next treatment.
Do pet owners respond well to reorder reminder emails?
Pet supply stores typically see strong engagement with reorder reminders because pet owners are motivated by their pet's wellbeing — running out of food or flea treatment is a high-urgency event. A timely, personalised reminder that arrives before they run out typically outperforms generic promotional emails.
Does it work if I sell prescription or vet-approved pet products?
Yes. Reorder Reminder Pro works with any Shopify product type — prescription or OTC. The reminder email is an informational prompt, not a medical claim. You can customise the email template to include appropriate copy for regulated products.
