When it comes to fur babies, adoptive parents are prepared to spend. The pet luxury market is proving to be incredibly buoyant. Items for pets, from designer clothing and luxury beds to toys and gourmet treats, are all the rage. So are luxury grooming services and doggy daycares and pet hotels.
One of the drivers of the growing pet luxury market was the surge in pet ownership during lockdown. Another driver was the constant companionship given while being isolated at home. And while it’s not news that pets are important members of the family, more time, attention, and devotion were given to our four-legged friends during this time, thus tightening the emotional bonds. They became members of the family who deserve luxurious experiences and treats. And people truly enjoy spoiling their animals, often treating their pets before they treat themselves.
So how can you spoil your furry family member now and in the future?
