There are many of us who consider our pets as
part of the family, and this is evidenced by a recent statistic that
states 65% of all U.S. homes own at least one pet. Along with this
increase in pet ownership comes the need for services tailored for our
pet’s comfort. And, because of this trend, pet services have grown into
a multi-billion-dollar industry that encompasses a wide range of
services from pet supplies to recovery services aimed at returning our
lost pets.
The largest industry leader is still pet supply, and companies like
PetCo and PetSmart are the leading forces, providing everything from
pet foods to grooming. Companies like these have evolved because their
services are based on the growth of the pet population, and our need to
make our pets feel like a family member. This focus has driven the
industry from a single section in discount and grocery stores into a
wide range of businesses that are tailored at pampering our pets.
One of the services that have grown out of this industry are pet
sitting services that will, as the title implies sit for your pet like
a baby sitter sits for you children. These services can range from
kennels with all the amenities that will pamper your pet while your on
extended absences, to small home services that sit for your pets while
your at work. The cost for the services can range from a few dollars
per hour for basic sitting services to a few thousand dollars for the
more posh kennel services that cater to your pets’ every need.
Then there are the specialty service that have become popular by their
use in movies and television commercials, and the most recognized of
these is the pet walking services. Pet walking services became popular
in movies of cosmopolitan life in the inner city, and this service has
grown ever since. Another popular service, but not as glamorous is the
poopey scooper service, that effectively keeps our streets clean. And,
with the recent laws that have been enacted regarding this issue, this
service is becoming ever popular.
And finally there are services that have become popular with the growth
of the internet; one type of service that is growing is the pet
recovery field. This service helps pet owners recover their pets by
providing a place to list their pet in advance, so when the lost pet is
found, the owners contact information can be retrieved. One company
that also includes a free pet identification tag with registration is
RecoveryPets.Com and their website is located at
http://www.recoverypets.com, and this enables the finder to quickly
find the lost pets’ owner by knowing exactly what site visit.
Because of these specialty services our pets are more pampered and
secure, and if the pet ownership population continues to grow, we will
see an increase in the number of services dedicated to our pets, and
the continued growth of this multi-billion dollar industry.
