The pet services and supplies industry in India has witnessed promising growth in recent times. With people having more disposable income on their hands, consumers do not mind splurging on pets these days which has opened up new frontiers for growth in the industry. This has, in turn, encouraged the entry of foreign retail brands, due to which the pet-care industry has become much more organised. While pet food is the largest and the fastest growing segment in the industry, pet care and services are also witnessing steady growth, with day-care centres, pet spas, salons and hotels being in increased demand in recent years. Additionally, sales of accessories for pets – including luxury items such as designer leashes and dog collars – are slowly picking up. T-shirts and shoes for pets are becoming common for practical reasons, apart for being style statements. Another segment making rapid strides is healthcare. With consumers becoming more conscious about the general well being of their pets, pet vaccines and other medicines are witnessing steady growth in demand. Hide this
