Researcher - Dog Food Category - Retail & Specialty Retail

**This project was originally posted several weeks ago and awarded, but research was unable to complete. As a result, I have reopened it for bidding again.** I need an experienced researcher to find current, relevant research and articles on the retail supermarket dog food category. Specifically, I am interested in: category trends (including growth figures), product segments (canned, dried, rolls, organic, vegetarian, etc), key brands and key manufacturers by the following markets: United States, Australia, New Zealand. Recent research shows that a retail supermarket like a Vons offers quite a different range than a retail supermarket like Whole Foods, so I would also like to better understand the category by retailer segment as well. I need you to use the Internet to find recent articles/research/presentations and then save the documents and forward them to me. Good organisational skills required as I need each article to be sourced (bibliography) so it can be found again if required. The final part of the research is I am also looking for the details (website) of the leading Trade Associations and Trade Journals that discuss the dog food category, category trends, etc.
