Pet care around the world Pet ownership trends continue to evolve globally, as well. Urbanization in Japan has led to a decrease in dog ownership as cats are perceived as better suited to the demands of small apartments and busy consumer lives. In 2014, the number of single-person and twoperson households in Germany grew by 2% and 1% respectively over the previous year. Ongoing growth in internet usage and digitalization is an indicator of the increasingly isolated lifestyles led by many Germans, said Euromonitor. Pets are often welcomed as providing balance to these consumers’ hectic and career-focused lives and sometimes even viewed as taking the place of a partner or child. They are considered beloved companions that enhance their owners’ wellbeing and quality of life. Dogs are also viewed as supporting their owners’ fitness and health and as helping them to reconnect with nature on their daily walks. As a result, the German pet population is growing at rates almost parallel to the number of small households. Aside from their role as valued companions, the number of working animals also continues to increase. In 2014, more than 5,000 dogs were employed by police and customs, not including the continually rising number of support animals such as guide dogs or pets used in animal-supported therapy and education. This gradual shift in the status and roles of pets in Germany not only results in owners having more sophisticated demands when buying pet care products, but also supports continuous growth in the German pet population. On average, 600,000 pets are adopted every year in India.

Dog and Cat Repellent and Training Aid to help keep cats and dogs away from furniture, flowers, garbage cans, shrubs and trees. Pet care in Singapore posted marginally slower growth in 2016 due to the maturity of overall demand; however, pet care is projected to grow at a stable rate of 2% in the future, according to Euromonitor. The cat population posted double-digit percentage growth, due to awareness and adoption campaigns, regulatory easing and animal welfare activism, all of which helped increase the country’s overall appreciation of cats. Singapore consumers displayed a willingness to spend money on their pets’ welfare, increasingly treating them as members of the family.
