How pet food selection attributes influence customer satisfaction and loyalty: evidence from South Korea.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: This study examined the impact of pet food selection attributes, including price, quality, reliability, and convenience, on customer satisfaction and loyalty in South Korea's evolving pet food market. The pet industry in South Korea is expanding rapidly, driven by changes in demographics like the rise of single-person households and aging populations. It is essential to understand consumer preferences in pet food attributes. Methods: A survey of 365 pet owners was conducted, and data were analyzed using path analysis. Results: The analysis showed that reliability and convenience play a significant role in increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty, while price and quality do not have a significant effect. Consumers value trust in product origins, brand credibility, and practical features like easy-to-store packaging. These results underscore the importance of attributes that simplify daily routines and build trust in pet food products. Discussion: These findings stress the importance of transparency in production processes and consumer-oriented product designs that meet modern demands for convenience. By prioritizing these attributes, pet food manufacturers can better align their products with changing consumer expectations, improving loyalty and strengthening their competitive position in a dynamic market. This study offers insights into how selection attributes affect customer satisfaction and loyalty, with practical implications for product development and marketing strategies in the rapidly growing pet food sector. However, the study is limited by its sample representativeness and the scope of analyzed attributes, suggesting considerable scope for future research to broaden demographic coverage and explore additional influencing factors.
