Amazon have launched their own brand of pet food on Amazon, Lifelong. Whilst this will doubtless mainly impact the larger manufacturers such as Felix and Whiskers, it also indicates a wider push into the lucrative pet food and accessories category.
Developed by pet nutritionists and checked by veterinarians, Amazon say that Lifelong’s products are made with carefully selected ingredients. The range is made without added artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, showing love and care for your beloved companions.
Amazon already run a competition for the ‘face of Amazon pets‘ and have a number of own brand products in the category. Whilst not too many merchants will produce their own pet food, many will supply other brands on the marketplace but what will really increase competition is the other Amazon Private Brands in the pet category selling accessories for animals.
In addition to the new Lifelong pet food Amazon Private Label, we believe we have identified a number of other pet related Amazon Private Labels including Amazon Basics pet toys, Auto Companion car boot protectors, Solimo dry cat and dog food, and Ultrasport and RTS horse accessories.
