We all love animals. We live in a society that is obsessed with our pets, and rightly so, they are fabulous! With so many people living with pets and so many people in love with their pampered pooches, the pet industry has never been so big and so very, very lucrative. Therefore those of you with a passion for animals who would love the idea of merging that passion into a career then read on for the top three business ideas that will allow you to do just that.
Dog Walker
Dog walking is one of the most fun and most relaxing (well, depending on the dogs of course) jobs out there. Walking our dogs is one of the most enjoyable parts of our day, so why not make a career out of doing this with a whole brood of dogs. Dog walking is hugely in demand these days as people are working longer hours, they are finding it more and more difficult to find time to walk their dogs as much as they need. So why not get the feelers out in your local community and see what demand there is in your neighbourhood. We think you’ll be surprised at just how many people need help from someone exactly like you and are willing to pay good money for it.
Create a Dog Toy
The dog toy market has been booming recently so this is a huge opportunity for people to make money in. Designing and creating dog toys is actually a surprisingly easy area of product development to get into, so if you consider yourself a bit of a creative entrepreneur then this could be right up your street.
Most of the work involved in creating a dog toy is in the design. Thinking about dog toys that haven’t been thought of yet and the benefits that they bring to people’s pets. For example, to strengthen teeth or to increase cognitive functioning through play. Once you have designed the toy you will then need to look into actually producing it. As most dog toys tend to be plastic you will need to hire the help of a moulding services company who will be able to create the shape of the toy in the range of colours and patterns that you’d like. It is always a good idea to do a prototype first, test it in the market and get feedback, before you go ahead and produce hundreds or even thousands.
Luxury Pet Pampering Salon
Pet Pampering Salons or Pet Spas are a new trend that is taking the pet market by storm. Dog and cat boutiques where they can go to have everything from their nails clipped, their fur shampooed and blow-dried and where pet owners can have a mosey around the fun and lovely pet accessories. These new pet pampering salons are a really fun business idea and when done well can be incredibly lucrative and a fantastically fun way to make money.
So as you can see, there are some really fun ways to merge a passion for pets into a lucrative and enjoyable career. So spend a little time researching the demand in your local community and go for it.
