Is it risky to open a pet store?

Compared with other traditional industries, the business risks of pet stores are relatively high. Because pets are a living commodity, a series of problems such as pet illness and death will inevitably occur in the normal business process. But if the method is correct, the profit of opening a pet store is still very high!

General business items include live pet sales, pet supplies/food sales, foster care and pet grooming services, pet medical care, pet photography and marriage matching .

In terms of living animals: the price of pets itself is relatively high. Almost all purebred dogs cost more than a thousand yuan, and some competition-level dogs cost tens of thousands. If the operator has a complete supply channel, this The profits are still very good. If you don’t have a partner, you still need to think carefully.

In terms of supplies/food: I have always heard that food is the most important thing for people. In fact, dogs’ food, clothing, housing and transportation are also included. Nowadays, the transparency of food brands in the market is becoming more and more transparent, and the profits are getting smaller and smaller. However, the interest rate has not been lower than 20%. If there is an independent brand of grain, the profits can be imagined.

Foster care and pet grooming services: can be said to be business projects with relatively high gross profit margins. Taking Jinan as an example, a bath for small dogs costs 20 yuan, medium dogs 35 yuan, and large dogs more than 50 yuan. This should be a low price. During the Spring Festival last year, the prices for pet boarding in Beijing were already 40 yuan/day, 60 yuan/day, and 80 yuan/day, and many of them need to be booked in advance.

Medical care: Everyone must have witnessed the profits of pet hospitals, but of course the requirements for opening a pet hospital are also very high now.

Tips for pets: During the operation of a pet store, it is necessary to evaluate and prevent various possible risks. For example, living animals, foster care, and medical treatment are the places where problems are most likely to occur. Special attention should be paid to these three aspects.
