Don’t forget your pets

Odds are, you’ve got a great local business in your community that is ready to spoil your cat or dog this holiday season. Hunting down gifts for your dog or cat can be as simple as dropping into a local pet shop or finding out what they have online. 
 
Pets Are Part of the Family
 
A recent survey by Rover, an online pet store, surveyed 2,000 dog and cat owners in the U.S. and came away with these results: 
 
• 80% of pet owners plan to purchase a gift for their pets this season.
 
• 68% of owners plan to buy multiple gifts for their pets.
 
• 55% of owners plan to spend at least $25 on their pet for holiday gifts.
 
• 20% of pets will receive more gifts than human members of the family.
 
• 77% of owners said they will include their pets on holiday family traditions.
 
Given these numbers, there’s no doubt pets will be spoiled by their owners this year. If you fall into this category, remember that shopping at your local pet shop can actually keep money in your community and pay for things like dog parks and other infrastructure
needed by the pet owner community. 
 
Local businesses in this space are depending on customers like you to keep their businesses thriving for years to come. 
 
Give the Gift of Grooming
 
If you have a special pet in your life, maybe a custom grooming is the best gift you can give. Check in with your local pet grooming shop to see what kinds of services they offer. There may be opportunities to pamper your pet with a wash and conditioning, as well
as a nail trimming or haircut. 
 
You can also purchase special shampoos and conditioners that allow you to keep your dog clean at home. Check online to see what your local pet groomers offer to make your shopping experience convenient, while also supporting your local small business
community.
