The Pet Specialty Retail Business: A Great Industry To Be In Today!

With an estimated 45.6 million US households having at least one dog and 38.2 million households with at least one cat, (National Pet Owners Survey 2009-2010), now is a great time to be in the pet specialty retail franchise business. According to the American Pet Products Association, overall spending on pets increased more than 5 % in 2009 over 2008 – not bad for a recession year. The subcategory of pet supplies reached more than $10.4 billion in 2009. The industry expects another 5% overall growth in 2010. Not surprising when you consider that more than half of pet owners say they buy holiday gifts for their pets.
