Overview of the mobile pet care market
Extensive research carried out by the analysts at Technavio has shown that the global mobile pet care market is anticipated to witness steady growth at a CAGR of more than 5% over the forecast period. Pets tend to face stress and anxiety when taken to fixed pet care facilities. Dogs dislike unfamiliar places, loud barking, and aggression from other dogs, which often leads to destructive chewing and clawing around doors and windows when taken to pet care facilities as they feel confined. They also tend to get aggressive and start whining, making it extremely challenging for the staff at these facilities to serve them. Similarly, cats also feel stressed when taken to pet care facilities that also offer services for dogs due to excessive barking. On the other hand, mobile pet care facilities help pet owners reduce such stress. These services are ideal for pet owners whose pets are not comfortable in large groups and need personal care and attention. Moreover, mobile pet care vans are also cage-free, leading to lesser stress for pets.
The majority of mobile pet care facilities provide eco-friendly products and solutions for pet care, which is one of the latest trends gaining significant traction in the market. These pet groomers use natural, non-toxic, and environmentally safe products on pets, such as All Natural Dog Ear Cleaner, TropiClean Fresh Breath Oral Care Kit, and earthbath Grooming Wipes. For example, Zoomin Groomin uses Pure Oxygen cleaning and deodorizing solutions for pets, and these products are claimed to be 100% non-toxic as well as environmentally safe. Moreover, these products are anti-bacterial and leave no residues on the pet's skin. Furthermore, mobile pet groomers are also trying to use sustainable technologies to reduce wastage of water, which will also contribute to this market’s growth over the next four years.
