Consumers choose to spend more on their furry best friends and the trend is only continuing to mature.
Why Dogs are Great to Go In Business With
Dogs help reduce stress.
Petting and walking a dog helps to offer instant relaxation, and lowers your blood pressure. During a stressful situation, dog owners are less likely to react in a negative way than those who do not own a pet.
Dogs relieve depression.
Giving pet owners companionship and decreasing loneliness provides more meaning for life for those going through a tough time.
Dogs add joy to the whole family.
Providing ownership and care giving responsibilities to the children, and on-going exercise and healing for adults. Who couldn't be happy coming home to a dog wagging their tail?
