INTRODUCTION

In this project, we have developed a website that sells the pet products having
pet food, pet’s toys and accessories with some pets grooming services and so
on. The website named as “FOUR PAWS” and in the website it contains a lot of
services that prepare for the pets such as pet grooming services. There are also
some special products known as “treats” that may be more highly flavoured, or
have a special chewy texture. These products are aimed at providing an
enjoyable experience for the animal and its owner, and are not necessarily so
well balanced nutritionally.

There are many types of pets in the modern world, but dogs dominate all the
production in the pet food market by a large margin with sales of over five
billion pounds worldwide. In this article only the products made for dogs are
described in detail. Pet food companies that are producing high-quality products
and are interested in the education of pet owners will provide consumers with
additional information about the exact nutrient content of their foods. Because
regulations do not currently allow the inclusion of these details on the pet food
package itself, they are usually supplied to consumers in the form of
informational brochures and through company websites. Such additional
information may include the essential vitamin and mineral content and the
energy density of the food.

Pet foods can be generally segmented into dry, wet (canned or moist), semi-
moist, treats (or snacks), and raw/frozen/refrigerated dog foods. Dry pet food
may contain around 5–12% moisture, semi-moist pet food 22–35% moisture,
and wet pet food more than 65% moisture. Dry pet food is the largest segment
in the pet food market. Different pet foods have varying oxidative stability and
shelf life. This section will focus on the oxidative stability and shelf life of dry
dog food. This is because lipid oxidation may change the colour, taste, and
odour of dry pet food, leading to decrease in nutrients, palatability, and the
quality of the dry pet food. Therefore, a pet food company must make sure that
the developed dry pet food products have their claimed shelf life.
Advantages of Pet Stores
 Pet stores specialize in natural products, recognizing the market that has
sprung up of pet parents not wanting to feed artificial ingredients to
their animals.
 Pet stores are within easy reach for most of us with large chains, family
businesses and specialized outlets in most neighbourhoods, as 65
percent of households now own a pet.
 Pet stores can have deep discounts when it comes time for clearance.
You can sometimes find discounts as deep or deeper than online,
including seasonal price-slashings such as dog sweaters in the
summertime.
 Stores can often order sought-after species for you, cutting out the costs
that could be associated with, for example, finding a breeder of a
specific finch and paying for shipping to your door.

Disadvantages of Pet Stores

 Quality can suffer when the focus is on quantity sales, and pet stores
have faced complaints over quality before.
 While some pet stores might offer local delivery services, you may still
find yourself lugging a large bag of dog kibble up the stairs to your
apartment.
 Some pet stores employ staff who are not well schooled in the specific
care of the animals.
 Pet owners needing hay for small animals such as dogs for example, may
be able to find local hay growers selling bundles at a fraction of the price
of a store-bought bag.

Objective of the project

A pet shop or pet store is a retail business which sells animals and pet care
resources to the public. A variety of animal supplies and pet accessories are
also sold in pet shops. This includes the necessities such as food and grooming.
Project Features

Home Page:
We have a navigation bar consisting of three options, first for the home page,
second contact us and third about us. We displayed five popular products,
bootstrap coupons, and the brand values of our company.

Grooming Plans:
We display how our pet grooming procedure works and there and cats and dogs
grooming plans. We also have included the available cities where the pet
grooming plans are available.

Add To Cart Page:

We are showing the selected product by the user, pin code availability, quantity,
order availability and the desired costing. We have also included the delivery
option for the convenience of the customer.

Animal Categories Page:

We have the popular items for dogs, cats, birds, and small animals including
their respective heath items with an add to cart button and product description.
Tools/Technologies Used

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language):

We have used HTML for all our webpages as it is the foundation of creating
any website and it has helped in deciding the structure of our website. Be it
navigation bar, headings, buttons, inputs etc. many pf the HTML tags have
came into our use for creating for this website. Without HTML we could not do
any type of styling, cost calculation etc. The positioning of the elements is also
decided by HTML.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets):

The styling of all the HTML elements in all our web pages has been done by
CSS. We have done styling like change colour on hovering link, using a
background gradient colour for all our web pages. The main property used in all
our web pages of CSS is flex box. Flex box helps in arranging all the items in
the container row wise or column wise.

BOOT STRAP:

We have used boot strap as it uses pre-applied CSS consuming less time and
giving more styling. We have used a boot strap CDN link to get all this pre
applied CSS. The boot strap coupons in the form of containers and the boot
strap grid system are used in our home page to rearrange the elements properly.
We also have used button styling in our homepage using bootstrap that made it
very easy to use.

JAVA SCRIPT:

Java script as we all know gives the life to the web page. So, the similar way we
have used java script for cost calculations of the products including sales tax
and shipping charges, we have used a quantity button which one user can
increment or decrement for products he/she needs.
Conclusion
Complete and balanced pet food products are formulated to be the single source
of nutrition for a pet. Most pets are sustained mainly through feeding of a
reduced range of commercial products and a limited number of production
batches for a prolonged amount of time. The impact of the diet and therefore
food safety hazards on the health of the pet is more like that of a human infant
than an older person eating a varied diet. A careful review of the industry record
with regards to pet food safety reveals issues with the control of a small number
of food hazards that account for most incidents, these are:

●Aflatoxin.
●Salmonella.
●Sporadic adulteration of ingredients with veterinary drugs, inorganic nitrogen
sources, specific risk materials (BSE) and heavy meals.
●Nutritional mis formulation.

Most of these hazards originate in the raw material supply and have no
effective control points in the process. Thus, their control relies on food safety
management practices by the raw material suppliers and a “trust but verify”
vendor management program. All raw materials must be risk assessed via a
comprehensive HACCP program and all potential hazards defined and
controlled. Factories making low moisture pet foods need specific programs
aimed at Salmonella control in the environment.
