Pet services 'fastest growing category'
Assuming that the Canadian economic outlook stays positive over the forecast period, pet services can be expected to be the fastest growing category in the pet industry, according to an article by PETS International.
Pet travel, including pet hotels, travel agencies, and accessories (such as car seats) will likely continue to drive growth in the sector, buttressed by a strong Canadian dollar and the resulting increase in travel to the United States and other destinations, Euromonitor predicted in the article.
Other less prominent pet services likely to benefit from increasing disposable income amongst pet-owning households include medical services, pet insurance, pet spas, pet masseuses, behaviorists who treat unruly pet behavior, pet sitters, and pet ‘communicators’, or psychologists, according to the article.
According to Euromonitor, there will be businesses opportunities for any company that is able to successfully market its products to consumers wishing to pamper and indulge their pets.

U.S. recession affecting pet care
According to a recent U.S. study, Economy and Pet Care, from Brakke Consulting, the pet care industry is not completely recession proof.
The study, which surveyed 1,500 dog and cat owners and 225 companion animal veterinarians, found many pet owners are cutting back on purchases of pet products and services, impacting retail and veterinarian sectors.
According to the research, 46% of pet owners indicated their financial situation was worse in 2008 than in 2007. More than one fourth—27%—said the employment status of the main household wage earner declined during the past year. The impact was worse in the Midwest region of the U.S. than in other parts of the country and among families with annual household incomes under $50,000.
Services such as boarding, grooming and veterinary care took the biggest hits, according to the research. Average transaction charge barely will have grown in 2008, according to study results. For copies of the complete report, contact John Volk at jvolk@brakkeconsulting.com.
