Petco and PetSmart pull Hill’s products from stores

It has been reported that Petco and PetSmart have pulled Hill's Pet Nutrition products out of their stores in Topeka and Lawrence, Kansas, in what some industry observers are describing as a shot across the company's bow due to its e-commerce and potential channel-hopping approach. The choice of locations, which was first reported by local media outlets, is significant as Hill's Pet Nutrition is headquartered in Topeka.
