About This List
We have used Google Trends to measure search popularity and we’ve gotten the Instagram follower count straight from Instagram itself.
The popularity measures (green meters) are all relative to each other. This means that there will always be one store in these lists that have 100% search popularity and 100% Instagram popularity. The lesser popular stores will have a percentage of that.
Keep in mind that one exponentially more popular store can make other really popular stores look like they are not. They still are – just not in comparison with that one.
The price meters are also relative. All meters start from 0 on the left-hand side.
To select these stores, we also looked at how popular they are on social media and Google. We compared the availability of products, how easy the sites are to use, variety of pet supplies, and shipping rates.
