Under social pressure and emotional demands, my country's pet ownership has already ranked third in the world, and it is still growing.
With the popularization of people's education level and the publicity of the Internet, more and more pet owners understand the importance of scientifically raising pets. In order to meet the needs of pet owners, the pet industry continues to grow and grow. Prosperity.
How profitable is the pet industry?
The older generation kept dogs to guard their homes, and cats to catch mice. Dogs can also help with the leftovers at home, while cats either catch mice to solve the three meals, or eat leftovers along with them, which is not so expensive.
Of course, these "rough" cats and dogs are also Chinese pastoral cats and dogs with strong vitality and physical fitness.
Now the young people born in the 80s and 90s have received more information and have a more comprehensive understanding of things, so when choosing cats and dogs, there is already a need to pursue breeds.
Coupled with the emotional needs of empty nesters and empty nesters, the number of pets has also risen sharply.
Merchants found business opportunities, packaging, publicity, public opinion and other means, and the pets were fired to sky-high prices.
For example, a breed of cat may have different prices depending on the purity of its color and bloodline. A 900 cat was sold for 4000 in one package.
In addition to the variety of pets, the needs of pet owners also include: food, medical care, and beauty.
- Taking ordinary income as an example, raising an Bomei costs about 400 yuan per month on average.
- The average cost of pet vaccines twice a year is 1200 yuan.
- For a pet that does not get sick, the biggest cost in life is probably neutering.
- The average cost of sterilization in third- and fourth-tier cities is 600 yuan per animal, and the average in first- and second-tier cities is 1,000 yuan per animal.
Taking sterilization as an example, a large pet hospital can handle hundreds of pets every day.
“Sterilization factory” was exposed
A foreign hospital exposed the “sterilization factory” of a large pet hospital.
At first glance, it was truly spectacular: a cat that was turned over by numbness, rolled its eyes, stuck its tongue out, tied its limbs, and was slaughtered by anyone without any resistance.
Some netizens complained: This is an "egg demolition factory", or a black shop without meow rights. And the doctor here is a "drag brick house", just dismantle other people's parts, and show them off in front of others, making cats and cats cry.
Although I understand that sterilizing pets is for their long-term happiness in the future, but seeing such a scene can only be distressed and envious: the pet industry is too profitable!
If a cat costs 500 yuan per cat, 100 cats a day, that is 50,000 yuan! Don't you make 1.5 million in a month?
This is just one of the smallest neutering projects in the pet medical field.
What pet expenses are necessary?
Since pets are raised, expenses cannot be avoided, so what pet expenses are necessary?
1, sterilization.
My previous article has analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of pet sterilization. In short, the advantage is that many genital diseases can be avoided (saving treatment costs and prolonging life); the disadvantage is the risk of surgery and a small probability of complications.
Can sterilization be saved? It is also possible, for example, if you have a male cat and a male dog at home, if you don’t run out of cats and dogs, and don’t increase the burden on stray animals, then you don’t have to sterilize them.
If you are a female cat or a female dog, for the health of your pet and your own cleanliness, it is best not to save this expense.
2, food.
Cats need to be fed cat food, and if they eat well, their fur will be smooth and shiny; It's the same as how much capital people invest in their skin management.
According to personal economic situation, free choice. Just keep them full and healthy.
For dogs, if you have the conditions, you will have dog food, and if you have no conditions, you will have leftovers. (I have had dogs for decades, and every one of them is dead, except for those stolen by vicious dog dealers!)
3, necessary medical items.
For example, vaccines and deworming, I personally think that it is absolutely impossible to save, for the health of pets, and also for the hygiene and health of family members.
As for beauty, accessories, clothing, snacks, etc., you can do what you can according to your personal financial situation.
For me (fourth-tier city, humble laborer), I have 4 cats and 1 dog at home.
Dogs are dewormed twice a month, which is about 50 yuan. No dog food (large dogs eat too much to say hello), leftovers, and occasional homemade meals for dogs. If you are healthy, do not do beauty treatments, and take a bath yourself, you will spend 600 yuan a year.
And cats are more expensive (pet cats really don’t eat leftovers, their physique is not good, and they are timid and can’t catch mice), cat food is 200 yuan per month, which belongs to the middle and lower grades; 2 per year The second vaccine, a bath in January, and occasional snacks cost an average of 3,000 yuan a year.
The annual cost is within the acceptable range, cats and dogs are well raised, they are healthy and happy, I am mentally and spiritually rich, and win-win~
