MARKET ANALYSIS
The market for dog walking services in the UK is part of the broader pet services industry, which has been showing positive growth trends. Here are some insights based on recent market analysis:
Market Growth: The dog walking service industry has been benefiting from an overall increase in pet ownership, particularly dogs, across the UK. This sector is expected to continue growing, driven by a rise in pet spending and a greater focus on pet wellness.
Consumer Demand: There is a strong demand for dog walking services, as more owners recognize the importance of regular exercise for their pets' health. The typical dog owner in the UK walks their dog for about 34 minutes daily, yet many feel they do not walk their dogs as often as they should. This gap highlights a potential market for dog walking services (Dogster).
Competitive Landscape: The market is competitive, with a mix of individual dog walkers and larger companies offering these services. New entrants can face moderate barriers to entry, mainly due to the trust and personal nature of the service. Establishing a reputation for reliability and safety is crucial.
Opportunities such as this do not come around often, and a business with such a strong track record, reputation, and loyal customer base is a rare commodity.
