Abstract
This study is conducted to provide marketing implications for the growing pet-related market by identifying the impact of attachment to pets on the purchasing attributes of pet goods and the relationship between the purchasing attributes, satisfaction, and behavioral intention.The survey was conducted on 173 respondents among the pet owners who had purchased pet products (beauty/bathing goods). The confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis were conducted using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 21.0. This analysis results showed that attachment to a pet significantly influences the purchasing attributes of pet products: price appropriateness, quality, design, reputation and the sales environment. The relationship between the product purchasing attributes, satisfaction, and behavioral intention showed that price appropriateness, quality, and the sales environment of the product purchasing attributes had a significant impact on satisfaction, but the product's design and reputation do not. Satisfaction has a significant effect on behavioral intention. This study demonstrates that the pet product market should consider product quality, price appropriateness, use and an accessible sales environment based on the characteristics of pets rather than considering the design or reputation of the owner's preference of product.
