Having a passion for pets and pet care can send you on the path to franchise success. In America, pets are more than just companions; they are often viewed
as members of the family. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA),
pet ownership is at a record high—with 68 percent of households claiming at least one pet. This represents over 82 million people! Even Forbes
Magazine tagged this industry as recession-proof.
The increase in pet ownership is up across the board, including a 2 percent increase in the number of households (from 42 to 44 percent) claiming multiple pet ownership. And the best news of all? Total pet expenditures have increased from $50 to $53 billion annually—nearly a 5 percent increase. What does this mean for the franchising world? Well, quite simply, pet franchises have a bright outlook in the near term.
If your passion is pets and animal care, you can turn this interest into a franchise business in numerous categories. If you consider yourself a pet-friendly
advocate, you have the opportunity to seek the freedom of financial independence—while doing something you love. The pet industry really is
big business.
