    Despite expected sales being $7 billion this year, less than half the dogs in the US are regularly fed prepared dog food which means this industry is far from hitting its highest potential. This is good news for a company like Zenith Pet Foods, which only really sells to dogs competing in dog shows. There is a lot of market potential and also there are critical decisions to be made for this company at the same time. There have been four trends indicated about dog owners in the US that contribute to the optimism around market potential in the dog food industry. These include an increase in the household dog population in the US due to ownership and protection, an increase in convenience foods in households which limit dogs’ intake on foods, an amount of $20 billion spent collectively by Americans every year on their dogs, and an increase in premium dog food trends. Higher quality dog foods have soared in prices and sales along with the increase in dog ownership which is attractive news for Zenith Pet Foods.…

    SWOT analysis is a structured and planned method that is used to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of any business or venture. This analysis can be carried out not just by any business – it can also be carried out by any industry, product, place, or person. The tool collects the information from an environmental analysis and divides it into two categories – 1) internal, comprising of strengths and weaknesses, and 2) external, comprising of opportunities and threats. Once, these factors are analysed, SWOT analysis determines what are the factors and components that are necessary for the fulfilment of the objectives, and the obstacles that have to be overcome, neutralized, or minimized. While strengths and weaknesses are internal factors, opportunities and threats are usually external factors.…

    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.…
