Imagine this: Your customer gets an automatic message from your business on their pet’s birthday, maybe even a little discount for a celebratory grooming session. They’ll not only be super impressed that you remembered, but they’ll also feel truly valued. They'll keep coming back for your services forever. That's the kind of loyalty modern pet parents expect, and it's something your current "system" and man power just can't deliver.
I see it daily, and I bet you do too:
These ways might feel familiar, but they can't last. Your customer info is all over the place, easy to lose, and super hard to sort through or understand. You're wasting hours on tasks that a computer could do for you. Plus, you're missing big chances to really connect with your customers. Trying to open another branch? It'll be a huge headache and mess without the right tools to manage appointments, keep records, handle staff, and billing.
More and more Filipinos are getting pets, especially young people (millennials and Gen Z). They see their pets as part of the family, not just animals. GlobalPETS says the pet care business in the Philippines is now worth $108 million and has doubled in just five years. By 2029, it's expected to hit a massive $681.3 million!
"We are family of 4, 2 of us and 2 dogs. My friends, have more fur babies than human kids."- Sofia Mendoza (Pet Parent in PH)
That's a lot of pets! We have 16.4 million dogs and 2.06 million cats, with about 42% of families owning one. This isn't just a fad; it's a big change in how we live. As people earn more and live in cities, Filipino pet owners (especially those with higher incomes) are treating their pets more and more like their own kids. This means they want things like:
Metro Manila still buys the most, but online shopping is changing everything fast. Buying online, in-app, and through social media (especially TikTok Shop) are becoming huge ways to grow, especially for pet owners aged 16-34, your fastest-growing customers!
But here's the catch: Competition is getting really tough. It's not just other local shops. There are 111 foreign companies here, and US pet food brands already have a 26% share. Everyone wants a slice of this growing market.
Even with all this growth, many local businesses are forgetting they really need tech tools for both running their business smoothly and getting the word out.
It's not just about being a little behind; it's about getting left in the dust. The pet industry is like the restaurant business ten years ago – it's ready for a huge digital change. You have to switch, and you have to do it now.
To keep up and really do well, your business needs to focus on:
The businesses that use digital tools smartly will really shine. They'll get and keep customers who want things easy, clear, and hassle-free.
