You're a smart person. Yeah, you are because pet businesses are great So matter of fact, my wife has one she does dog training, but we're gonna talk a little bit more about products in this particular video So I want to walk you through it, but you and I both know people spend a lot of money on their pets As a matter of fact the average pet owner spends over a hundred and thirty nine dollars and seventy three cents a Month on their pet. That's a lot of money. It's time. You got your share of it Now the first question you got to ask yourself is is it profitable? Is it profitable to start a pet business? Check out this Google Trends chart right here. This is pretty amazing According to the American Pet Products Association in 2020 alone US pet owners spent 103.6 billion dollars on their Companions with just under one half of that being sold on food treats and other services. It's clear There's a market and interested pet stores, but are they profitable? Well, it would only stand a reason if that many people are spending that much money that there's profit in it But let's look at some of the ways you can make money in a pet business The first one is pet sitting now I had never used a pet sitter until we moved out to California and this is going back to 2013 and we were traveling some and we needed somebody to come take care of her pets We didn't want to put them in a kennel and we didn't want you know our pets to be checked on every now and then We wanted somebody to stay there with our pets So we found a lady and she had about 10 or 12 people that actually worked for her that would come stay in a Home and take care of a pet. So that's what we did fast for eight years later To 2021 we were still using her before we moved out to Texas and she had over 200 employees 200 and it wasn't cheap either They were charging right around a hundred and fifty dollars a day to come hang out at the house with our pet now To you a hundred and fifty dollars a day may not seem like a lot of money, but multiply that times 200 employees That's a lot of money and that's just one type of business and that's just pet sitting Pet sitting can also be somebody who just comes in and walks the dog or somebody who goes in and cleans the litter boxes and feeds the Cats so they're only there 10 or 15 minutes There can be a lot of ways that you can do this pet sitting and make a lot of money The next area is pet food people have really gotten Tuned in to the fact that dogs and cats need healthy food to this kibble that they've been eating for years is not good for So in this particular area you want to niche down I was at a farmer's market the other day and there were five booths out of probably 50 that were pet food They were all pet food related natural foods work really well things that aren't processed things that are Handled in a different manner without the chemicals and preservatives and all that are extremely popular right now So getting into pet food is a great idea.

I have a friend in Tennessee And his dog goes to doggy daycare every single day They take him five days a week goes to doggy daycare and hangs out with the other dogs and has a wonderful time I would assume this is just the opposite of pet sitting where you go into somebody's house This is where they come drop off their pet to you and you take care of it. This is a huge industry There's a huge demand for it and that's another way you could make money in the pet industry. Did your dog exercise? He does she does. Yes dog walking That's another way to get into the pet industry dog walkers dog walkers are huge now, too They go into people's homes. They take the dogs out They exercise them and they get exercise, too It's a great way to start your business and you don't have to do it all yourself You can hire more dog walkers to actually work for you a lot of people just don't want to start their own business They just want to get paid for doing an activity dog walking is a great business.
