Pet Care Services In The U.s., 3Rd Edition, Riding The Multiservice, Premium Luxury And Corporate Waves Reports
Building on expert analysis presented in previous editions and other reports in Packaged Facts’ extensive pet market research collection, this comprehensive and data-rich market report explores every major category of the U.S. pet care services industry as well as important emerging ones. Marketwide the prospects remain strong, driven by technological and pharmaceutical advances in veterinary medicine, the ongoing penetration of PetSmart and Petco, the ever-widening range of pet care services, intense pet owner interest in preventive and therapeutic pet wellness, the all-important consumer benefit of time-saving convenience, the aging pet and human populations, and, of course, the all-important human/animal bond.
Following an in-depth discussion of market size, growth, composition, drivers and competitive dynamics, the report features expanded chapters devoted to veterinary, boarding/daycare, grooming, training and pet sitting/walking, focusing on such growth areas as mobile grooming, pet waste management and other at-home services as well as other promising areas including pet travel and funerary/bereavement services. Important market factors examined at length include the current and projected impact of the recession; industry “corporatization” via the ramped-up involvement of major companies and home-grown franchises with natural aspirations; service trends in the independent pet specialty channel; the cross-channel multiservice facility trend; trends in premium/luxury areas including pet hotels, daycare and spa-style grooming; and high-growth areas in the veterinary channel including pain management, senior care, cancer care and hospice care.

Luxury Dog Houses – Should I Buy One?
Unfortunately, there are quite a few Dog owners that keep their Dog in their home all day long and others who prefer that their Dog Brave the elements 24/7 in a Kennel (or chain link Fence) in their yard. Some justify a garage, shed, and or (believe it, or not) a 1x2x2 travel Kennel as suitable living quarters.
Then there are those owners that consider their Pooch part of their family. Not only do they love their Dogs, they favor them more then most people they know. It is for this reason that they would go to ANY lengths to make their per comfortable.
Let’s face it: When we are Hot, Cold, or Wet outside,our Dogs are too. People who have a strong attachment to their Dog,would find it quite difficult to argue against anything but the best living quarters for their pet!
Our Dog Houses are second to none in durability, aesthetics, functionality and comfort. They are the standard of which all Dog Houses should be built. They can provide all the comforts of home at a “respectable” price, and they will be the last Dog House our customers will ever buy.
Dog Houses can be built with virtually ANY amenity that you can find in your home. They truly can just as durable, eastheticly appealing and be the last dog house you will ever have to purchase.
If you don’t have a strong attachment to your pet, you will not be interested in this product. However, if your pet is considered part of your family and you want nothing but the best for it, then you probably will.
