Pet home bakery
A pet’s dietary requirements
are diff erent from that of
humans. Th e foods they like
and enjoy are not suited for
human consumption, and
there are certain ingredients
that humans consume but
should not be given to the
dog. Th erefore, the need for a
Pet Home Bakery came into
existence during the last few
years. Many Indians are now
starting home bakeries, not just
for their human counterparts,
but also for pets.
Be it a birthday bash or a
festive occasion; your furry
companions cannot resist
treats. Th ese eateries specialize
in baking homemade goodies
for your pawed chums ranging
from cakes and muffi ns to
biscuits, puddings and jerkies.

Pet-sitters
All will agree that leaving
your pets alone at home is the
biggest nightmare a pet parent
faces. No one ever wants to
leave their pet unattended,
because it means he/she is not
cared for. While pet sitting
is an established norm in the
west, it is also gaining grounds
in India. Several providers
have shot up, who provide pet-
sitting services.
Pet sitters can be found both in
the organized and unorganized
sectors. While there are many
fi rms which provide pet-
sitting services, one can also
hire people from the local
community who are willing
to pet-sit at a price. Th is is
undoubtedly good news for the
Indian Pet Industry as it will
not only generate employment
but also help owners leave their
pets while attending to other
tasks knowing they are in safe
hands.
Future of the Indian
Pet industry
With approx. 50 million street
animals, 10 million, pet owners
and 40 million animal lovers,
India boasts of a huge potential
in the pet industry. Pet care is
becoming more sophisticated
, with pet owners not only
focusing on veterinary services
and food for their fur buddies
but also exploring other arenas
in the fi eld of grooming,
leisure, entertainment, and
holistic health. Th is promises
to open new avenues and
prospects of growth for the
Indian per services industry
like never before.
