Pet Care Industry Analysis 2017

The Pet Spa at Soap.Club, an international supplier of premium quality natural pet shampoo, based out of Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, announced Pet Care Industry Analysis 2017 as the newest segment of their 2017 Spring Pet Awareness Campaign. The campaign began March 2nd, will run until May 1, 2017, and is designed to champion pet owner awareness, all in an effort to augment, enhance, and improve the lives of our most loyal companions.

The Pet Care Industry is made-up of services and products that keep our pets alive, healthy, and happy. The global pet care market continues to exhibit strong growth with the North American market dominating sales of pet products, and internet retailers such as Amazon (AMZN) being an essential key to emerging market growth.

Jack Widmer, manager of The Pet Spa at Soap.Club, advises, “This growth is mainly driven by the ‘premium’ pet products sector, as an expanding number of pet owners around the world come to think of their pets as family members. People are healthier in the presence of animals, and healthy pets make for happy pet owners.”

The average annual growth rate of pet industry expenditures since 2002 is 5.4%, and revenue has been growing solidly for over 20 years. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA) the total U.S. Pet industry expenditures in 2017 are estimated to be $69.36 billion.

The burgeoning ‘natural’ branch of the pet care industry shows particular promise as pet parents demand that the food they feed their pets and the products that they use to groom them, is comparable in quality to what they are using on themselves. “We realize that pet owners wonder; what is the best shampoo to use on their dogs and cats,” Widmer states. “We developed our natural oatmeal pet shampoo and conditioner with natural ingredients so there are no worries of allergic reactions or harmful ingredients that could hurt your beloved pets. The proprietary formulation of The Pet Spa Hypoallergenic Pet Shampoo and Conditioner is 100% biodegradable and rich in vitamins and antioxidants, there are no toxic chemicals that dry out the pet’s skin and coat as found in commercial pet products.”

For over 25 years research has shown that that living with a pet can keep one healthy. There are a number of sites available on-line that show how living with a pet provides certain health benefits to their human companions. Pet parents may consider investing in dog and cat behavioural guides to teach them how to better understand their best friend.
