Pet Shops

By Mark P Richards

We all love our pets, and with the arrival of the online shop as a means of doing business the industry that is pet supplies and accessories has blossomed into something substantial and sophisticated.

What once was an industry that tended largely to concentrate on supplying the basics now offers such diverse services and products as pet food, clothing, dog walking services,beds, grooming, training, pet insurance and a whole lot more too, as well as creating the opportunity for others to become involved through attractive franchising options.

The pet business, of course, is not just about dogs and cats. As a nation of animal lovers we keep and care for horses, birds, fish, chickens, reptiles and small mammals. We want our pets to have the best and increasingly the market is catering for our needs and requirements. Just as we humans like to seek out the best brands when sourcing clothes and food, so a whole range of the very top brands is now available for our pets.

The online pet store has become the epicentre of the whole pet experience, providing not only supplies but advice, services - indeed everything we need when caring for domestic animals.

It always was inevitable that the next development within the industry would be the establishment of a dedicated franchise network. With a potential customer base that extends almost to infinity the need to support that base through an ever expanding network of regional operators is instantly apparent.

Pet shop franchises can reach out effortlessly to the communities in which they themselves operate. They can give a physical presence to the almost limitless scope and versatility of the complete online pet shop. While the shop records the orders and co-ordinates the demand for pet supplies, the franchisee is active at the operational end.

The recession might be hurting but we do not cut corners when it comes to providing for our faithful pets. Everything they could possibly need is now quite easily sourced online, and provided to us through an intelligent network of supply.
