It’s becoming clear that the demand for pet care services in the UAE is substantial and continues to grow. A number of diverse reasons factor into the growing trends involving pet ownership and care.
To begin with, the UAE has witnessed a significant rise in pet ownership, especially amongst young professionals and families. Rising disposable income in the UAE means that people have more money to spend on their pets, and coupled with this are today’s busy lifestyles, where many UAE residents find it tough to manage pet care tasks such as grooming, training, and walking. Similarly, there’s a growing awareness of pet welfare where UAE residents are understanding the importance of providing their pets with quality care and a comfortable environment.
With these factors coming into play, the demand for quality pet care services in the UAE is at an all-time high. For entrepreneurs looking to establish themselves in this industry, here’s the business activity you can choose under your business license.
9609.06 – Pet Care Services Such as Boarding, Grooming, Sitting and Training Pets
Pet care services encompass a range of offerings designed to provide comprehensive care for domestic animals. Common services include boarding, grooming, pet-sitting, and training.
Boarding facilities provide temporary housing and care for pets while their owners are away. They typically offer accommodation, meals, exercise, and socialisation. Grooming services, meanwhile, involve maintaining a pet’s appearance and hygiene. They can include bathing, brushing, nail trimming, haircuts, and ear cleaning. Many breeds of cats and dogs specifically require regular grooming.
Pet sitting involves caring for a pet in its own home while the owner is away. Sitters typically provide feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. Training services are more specialised, helping pets learn good behaviour and obedience. They can address issues like barking, jumping, aggression, and house training. Examples include obedience training, behaviour modification, and specialised training for working dogs or service animals.
Additional services that pet care services can provide include daycare, pet transportation, and pet walking. By providing a wide range of services, pet care businesses can cater to the diverse needs of pet owners and become a one-stop shop for all their pet care requirements.
