What’s happening in the world of pet care? 🐶 ​​​​​​​​​
It’s June already and time is flying. However, the year to date has unearthed some surprising, and some not so surprising trends in pet ownership across the UK.

🐾 Pet ownership continues to rise.

Despite a decrease in households owning pets (62% to 57%), the number of pets has increased. Multiple pets per household are becoming the new norm!

What does this mean for We Love Pets franchisees?

More pets per household = more customers with multiple pets. This can enhance efficiency around our services!

🐾 Small Pets on the rise.

Ownership of small pets has surged to over 5 million in the UK, with a 1.7 million increase in rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters year-on-year.
With the boom in small pet ownership, there’s a new, untapped customer opportunity waiting to be supported.

🐾 Pet owners feeling the pinch.

Two-thirds of pet owners are trying to cut pet costs due to the cost-of-living crisis. This affects food and pet services alike. Despite the
cost-cutting trend, We Love Pets has seen real-time growth this year. Showing our premium services attract customers with higher
disposable incomes.

Now is definitely the time to join!

And the winner is... 🥁

June's pet of the month winner is Sally, who has walks with the our Bridgend branch ran by the lovely Emma! 🐶

Sally has been having walks with Bridgend since April 2023. Her owner had another walker previous who left them in the Lurch. But luckily, Bridgend was on hand to take over!

Laura, one of Emma's walkers and pet sitters has said - ’I'd love to vote for Sally, she used to be so shy on walks but now she strides ahead and enjoys meeting the other dogs.🐕

Emma has also added - 'Sally never used to go to the toilet on walks, now she is. She would have to be picked up to go into the car, now she jumps in herself. Many things she's grown more confidence with because we've been calm with her, taken our time introducing dogs suitable to her and working with her owner to make sure she gets the best care.'

Congratulations Sally! Well deserved win. 🤩🐾

Our pet of the month winner for May is... 🥁

The lovely Basil who has walks with Elkie, owner of the Portsmouth branch.

They have been looking after Basil since he was four month old. He enjoys his walks with the branch and loves nothing more than a ball and swimming! 🏊‍♀️

He has been doing a lot of training and has recently qualified as an autism therapy dog! He goes to work a couple of days a week with his mum and they have the pleasure of looking after him the rest of the week.

'We are so proud of him and he is doing an amazing job! 🤩' - Elkie
