Growth in the pet industry is projected to grow annually by 4% through 2018. Pet ownership is contributing to this steady growth, and the number of owners is expected to increase in the next five years among seniors and singles. Currently, 68% or 82.5 million Americans own pets.<\/p>\n

Pet franchises vary from retail operations that sell pets, food and supplies to pet services such as grooming, training and boarding services. Other closely related industries are veterinarian services and pet insurance.<\/p>\n
