The Pet Industry Federation (PIF) has launched two new online courses, available via its PIF Education platform.
How to Make Your Retail Space Stand Out is an online course on merchandising products in store, looking at customer psychology, seasonal changes, colour, and store layout, while Dog Grooming Welfare is designed to help pet groomers better understand canine behaviour, stress signals, and handling techniques with a focus on animal welfare. PIF members can claim a 20% discount for both courses.
PIF has also uploaded a new Making Tax Digital for the Self-Employed fact sheet to its Members’ Area, ahead of tax changes taking place from April 2026. The update explains the tax changes that will affect businesses with annual sales over £50,000, including digital record-keeping and quarterly reporting.
