Dropshipping pet products is still a lucrative business idea.
Pet owners are more often referred to as "pet parents" as pets become ever more humanised. A report by Euromonitor in June 2022 highlights how remote working has increased how much time owners spend with their animal companions.
Globally, more than 70% of pet parents view their pets as part of the family, says the same report.
The younger generations are opting to adopt animals rather than have children, which is also influencing the huge demand for pet care supplies.
