Long-term success and customer satisfaction will be achieved through providing high quality veterinary services. Day & Night Veterinary Surgery aims to build strong interpersonal relationships with customers, obtaining their lifelong value and becoming ‘true friends’. (Appendix 5) (Seamons, 2015) Differentiation through competitive pricing in highly demanded services and having the option of after-hours care will help maintain industry demand. Table 2 summarises the goals and aspirations of the clinic to attain long-term success as they enter this business opportunity.
The need for a veterinary surgery offering pet care day, night, and emergency services has been identified for Graceville. Day & Night Veterinary Surgery will provide this unique selling proposition, offering the highest quality pet car from sunrise to sundown and all hours in between.

Increasing levels of household income, pet insurance and technological advancements have driven this growth (IBISWorld, 2015). Day & Night Veterinary Surgery expects pet ownership to be highest amongst people living in separate housing with low levels of rent rather than high-density areas. Graceville was chosen as it possesses more family homes compared to the high-density complex living present in Toowong, West End or Milton (Appendix 1). Research suggests that pet ownership is highest amongst families with children under the age of 18 (IBISWorld, 2015). The business will market to this

    Pet health maintenance includes veterinary check-ups, vaccinations and other treatments. About seven in ten pet owners take their pet to the vet at least once a year. However, very much like in people, pets’ health deteriorates with age. About onequarter of all pets are considered by their owner to be overweight; if true, this might negatively affect the overall pet’s health, especially in dogs. One in ten pets is reported to suffer from a chronic health condition, with senior pets more prone to diseases. Further, about one in ten pets have had some behavioural problems in the past year, such as separation anxiety or house soiling. Canadian pet owners trust their veterinarians and are extremely loyal customers. Only 15 percent of pet owners switched their main veterinary clinic last year or intend to switch in the coming year, primarily, because of relocation. Overall, pet owners rate the vet services they received from their main vet clinic at 6.3 on a 7-point scale (where 1 is completely dissatisfied and 7 completely satisfied). Veterinarians’ attitude toward the pets, quality of treatment and vet’s competency received even higher marks than the overall rating. The majority of pets in Canadian cities are spayed or neutered. However, to date, only 13 percent of pets are microchipped though the number of electronically traceable pets is expected to increase next…

    Today's pet industry is doing very well. Pet Market has been a specialty retailer for the last 10 years.

    Economic Trends - Good news! The pet industry continues to be one of the few industries successfully navigating our current economic recession, while many industries are struggling to survive. Many pet industry and retailer analysts’ predictions for 2011 continue to point to an increase in overall sales of US pet products and services. Even during the darkest days of the recession, spending on accessories and OTC medicine grew at 2%, showing that pet parents will cut back on their own expenses before those of their pets. The APPA (American Pet Products Association) projects growth levels back to pre-recession levels of 5.8%. Whether we see a rebound to this level remains to be seen, but there’s no doubt it will pick up again in 2011. Wal-Mart has rolled out pet grooming facilities but not with the characteristic aggression you might have expected. Pet travel services, such as temporary day care for pets, are definitely a niche with plenty of room to grow. Who better to pioneer the idea than Disney, which has finally caught on to the trend of vacationers travelling with their pets, opening the Best Friends Pet Care luxury dog and cat resort right across from the Walt Disney World Resort. While the total numbers may vary, there is no doubt that the pet industry overall is a growing industry. We are already seeing 2011 as showing great signs for continued imperviousness to the down economy. My expectation is that this trend will continue as pets grow more solidly and widely in their position as cherished family members, and aging baby boomers look to pets to fill a void left by empty nests. Paws Fur Beauty & P’etcetera would without a doubt do well under these circumstances.…

    Aussie Pooch Mobile 1

    Elaine and Paul Beal drew up in their 4 X 4 outside 22 Ferndale Avenue, towing a bright blue trailer with red and white lettering. As Aussie Pooch Mobile franchisees whose territory covered four suburbs of Brisbane, Australia, they were having a busy day. It was only 1:00 p.m. and they had already washed and groomed 16 dogs at 12 different houses. Now they were at their last appointment—a 'pooch party' of ten dogs at number 22, where five other residents of the street had arranged to have their dogs washed on a fortnightly basis. Prior to their arrival outside the house, there had been ferocious growling and snarling from a fierce-looking Rottweiler. But when the animal caught sight of the brightly-colored trailer, he and two other dogs in the yard bounded forward eagerly to the chain link fence, in a flurry of barking and wagging tails. Throughout residential areas of Brisbane and in a number of other Australian cities, dogs of all shapes and sizes were being washed and groomed by Aussie Pooch Mobile franchisees. By early 2002, the company had grown to over 100 franchisees and claimed to be "Australia's largest mobile dog wash and care company/' A key issue facing its managing director, Christine Taylor, and members of the management team was how to plan and shape future expansion.…
