Pet is one of the fastest-growing eCommerce categories, but it comes with fulfillment complexity that most 3PLs underestimate. Food and treat products need food-safe storage and expiry management. Fresh pet food requires cold chain. Large bags of dry food and bulky accessories need specialized handling. Here is what proper pet supply fulfillment looks like.**Food-Safe Storage**Pet food and treat products must be stored in clean, pest-controlled environments with appropriate temperature and humidity management. This is not the same standard as general warehouse storage — it requires dedicated food-safe storage protocols.3PLCity maintains dedicated food-safe storage zones for pet food and treat inventory, separate from non-food products.**Lot Tracking and Expiry Management**Pet food recalls happen. When they do, you need to know immediately which customers received products from the affected batch, with their names and shipping addresses. This requires lot-level tracking at every stage — from receiving to picking to shipping.We track lot numbers and best-by dates for all pet food inventory. FIFO rotation ensures older stock ships first. Products within 90 days of expiration are flagged for priority fulfillment.**Cold Chain for Fresh Pet Food**The raw pet food market is growing rapidly. Fresh and raw pet food requires refrigerated or frozen storage and temperature-protected shipping — gel packs, insulated packaging, and expedited transit.We offer cold storage and cold chain fulfillment for fresh and refrigerated pet food brands.**Heavy Bag Handling**A 30-pound bag of dog food is not a standard eCommerce shipment. It requires different carton sizing, carrier selection, and weight verification. We handle bulky pet items with appropriate equipment and rate-shop across carriers for the most cost-effective solution.
