For instance, hotels such The Liberty, Kimpton Journeyman Hotel, The Milestone Hotel, W Fort Lauderdale, Fairmont Hotel, and Egerton House offer grooming services for pets, which is expected to augment the growth of pet grooming services market over the forecast period.

Trend Two: Growing trend of pet’s natural and non-toxic products

The pet grooming market is witnessing an increasing application of natural and non-toxic products. With the increasing pet humanization trend, coupled with high adoption, several owners prefer organic or natural products to ensure their pets’ safety and health. The growing consumer propensity toward organic products provides a better immune system and overall wellbeing in terms of skin, fur, hair, coat, and life expectancy.

Pet enthusiasts are switching from products containing artificial additives to natural or organic-based products. In recent times, the animal owners have become increasingly aware of the dangers associated with the use of chemical and toxic grooming products. In an attempt to follow sustainable practices, several grooming service providers opt for reusable and recycled products. Shampoos used in hydro baths have a low pH level, making them recirculated wastewater, which is suitable for gardening. Therefore, the use of non-toxic, eco-friendly, and organic grooming products for bathing, massages, and ear & eye cleaning is likely to boost the U.S pet grooming services market during the forecast period.

Trend Three: Growing trend of salon pet grooming services

Salon pet grooming services are the primary revenue generators and are expected to dominate during the forecast period. Salon services are affordable and can provide services to a large number of pets per day. For many pets owners, using dog clippers at home is also a great and low-price choice during Covid-19. These services can take a longer duration than mobile services and are widely available across the US. These saloons offer bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear and eye cleaning, haircutting, de-shedding, de-matting, and flea and tick treatment services. However, these services are often stressful for pets as they are time-consuming, and standard grooming services take longer than mobile grooming services.
