Despite the unprecedented times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, MARS Petcare’s belief of creating a better place for pets remained strong with the company launching new products in the market. To that end, Pedigree recently launched a campaign promoting health and care of stray dogs. MARS Petcare also launched some of its international range of products – Temptations cat treats and their first non-food product, CATSAN cat litter – in India. The strategic growth and validation from online and offline retailers boosted confidence in the brands and facilitated growth of the company in India.
