Pet care is a $151B market, growing 8% for 30 years — and it’s recession-proof. 🐶 50% of U.S. homes have a pet.🛏️ 46% of dogs sleep in their owner’s bed.💸 Avg spend is $1.2K/year, heading to $2K.📈 164M pets, 5.9% spend CAGR. It seems the tailwind is just getting started.

Use AI to do the things that you don’t have the time nor money to do today.
