Retail: Pet Product Service Franchises

More than $2.9 billion dollars will be spent on pet services in 2007 according to the APPMA, which will likely continue to grow at around 7% for 2008. Again, pet parents are including their pets in their own lifestyles so visits to the spa, exercise regimes, and hotel-quality accommodations for day care are becoming more common place in urban areas. As we expected, we are seeing more services partnering together centered around pets, such as the Ritz-Carlton and the Barkley Pet Hotel and Day Spa providing pampering for your pet while you kick back in luxury. We also expect to see groomers, doggie daycares, pet hotels, pet insurance companies, lawyers providing pet trusts, and funeral homes providing services for pets also joining forces more and more in 2008.
