GUELPH, Ontario, April 30, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- To help pet service businesses thrive in a booming pet service market, LifeLearn Animal Health recently unveiled six new solutions to help pet service businesses improve their online presence, manage their businesses more effectively, attract more customers, boost client engagement and trust, and improve profitability.
"The pet service market is booming for boarding kennels, dog-walking services, grooming services, and dog daycare businesses," says Randy Valpy, President and CEO of LifeLearn, "and growth is projected to continue. We're thrilled to offer a suite of new solutions to help new pet service businesses easily get started in an exciting growth industry and to help established pet businesses reach their goals in a competitive market."
Demand and Growth for Pet Services
According to the global market research firm IBISWorld, demand for boarding kennels, pet sitters, dog walkers, groomers, trainers, and other pet service businesses is at an all-time high due to changing consumer preferences regarding pet care and improved per capita disposable income. And IBISWorld projects steady growth for the next several years.
Similarly, studies by Grand View Research show the demand for pet grooming and boarding services has roughly grown by 5.9% annually since 2014, and this annual growth is projected to continue until 2025.
The encouraging news for both start-up and established pet service businesses is that growth has been steady even during recessionary periods. Because of this, Forbes cited the pet service industry as "one of the best recession-proof industries."
The Challenge: The Pet Business Boom Means Tough Competition
Increased market demand for pet services, coupled with low barriers for entry into the industry, has created a highly competitive market for both start-ups and established pet service businesses, much like the competitive market now faced by veterinarians.
