Why join the pet industry?
More than 82 million households in the United States are home to at least one pet.1 But we don’t just own them, we love them! People consider their pets as part of the family, with 83 percent of pet owners referring to themselves as “Mommy” or “Daddy.”2
Caring for our pets has become one of America’s favorite pastimes. Americans now spend $55 billion a year on their pets.3 As the pet population continues to grow, there is no end in sight for the strength of the pet industry. Even during tough economic times, spending on pets doesn’t slow down.4 Pet owners are willing to sacrifice many daily luxuries to provide for the needs of their canine companions.5
Doting dog owners are demanding more services and outstanding care for their “children.” The need for dog daycare and boarding facilities is intensifying. TailWaggers Doggy Daycare® serves this growing market with exceptional services performed with a tender touch. We have established a distinctive, desirable brand that is unsurpassed in quality and reputation.
