The pet grooming and boarding industry has proven to be one of the
few established industries to post consistently strong gains over
the past decade - nearly doubling in size and growing even amid the
recession. This growing industry has benefited from changing
consumer attitudes, which increased demand for a wide variety of
new luxury pet services. Over the next five to ten years, this
trend is expected to gain further momentum as pet ownership rises
and pet owners use their increasing disposable income on services
for their pets, including dog daycare and pet grooming.
According to a 2015-2016 American Pet Products Association survey,
there are approximately 78 million dogs and 86 million cats owned
in the United States. Approximately 65% of all households in the
U.S. have a pet (up from 56% in 1988), which equates to 79.7
million homes.
If you have a pet, you likely spend a significant amount of money
on it. Pet spending is growing year over year. Americans spent more
than 60 billion dollars on their pets in 2015 alone. The pet
service industry, specifically in grooming and boarding, reached
$5.41 billion in revenues in the United States in 2015, and $5.73
billion in 2016.
A vast majority of pet owners describe their pets as family
members. Treating your pet as a four legged child has become
common. Not surprisingly, these pet owners are often willing to
spend extra money to indulge their pets and care for their health
and well-being. The "Pets as Family" trend has given rise to a wide
variety of high end pet products and services, including daycare
and resort style boarding.
Dogstown University was established in 2007 by a mother and son
with a vision of creating a resort style boarding and daycare
facility for four legged family members. If you are a dog/ or cat
lover and are interested in starting a new business in a growing
industry with a strong support system to show you how to run your
business successfully, then joining the Dogstown University family
is the right decision for you.
