As the UK moves closer to half of all households in the country owning pets, the pet industry will only continue to grow. This then opens a huge opportunity within the pet franchise sector to market products and services aimed towards our beloved pets. It’s estimated that we spend between £21,000 - £33,000 on our dogs during their lifetime. These costs will cover such areas as grooming, pet food, pet toys and treats, all of which are covered by franchisees within the pet sector. That’s astonishing when you consider the average dog has a lifespan of between 10 – 15 years.
