In China, cats and dogs aren't just pets—they're family! 🐶🐱 But with the nation's pet economy booming, the big question is: Can this growth be sustainable?
Luo Li'an, who kicked off her pet club adventure in Beijing back in late 2015, has seen the industry soar. \"More and more people aren't just keeping pets; they're investing in them to boost their quality of life,\" she shares.
Nearly a decade in, Luo's pet shop is buzzing with young folks. She believes these cuddly companions offer emotional comfort to youths navigating the hustle and bustle of work life and social circles. \"That's why many are willing to spend time and money on their pets, sparking rapid growth in the pet economy,\" Luo explains.
Luo's club doesn't just stop at pampering pets—they host weekend and holiday group walks, making tails wag and hearts happy! 🐾 It's just one slice of the many pet-related industries flourishing across the Chinese mainland.
The love for furry friends is real, but ensuring this trend stays green and sustainable? That's the next big step. 🌿
