The Changing Face of the U.S. Pet Owner

With two out of every three homes in America owning a pet, this $261 billion dollar global market offers an outstanding opportunity for a vast array of products and services to serve today’s pet owner, including boarding and daycare businesses. In their presentation, DOGTV’s CEO, Beke Lubeach, and CMO, Geoff Klapisch, will take you on a journey highlighting the dynamic landscape of today’s pet owner and its impact on the businesses that service them. They will trace its historical trajectory, highlight the transformative journey to today, and shed light on the promising growth prospects that lie ahead for products and services. With the COVID pandemic behind us, which resulted in a meteoric rise in pet ownership, the industry again is poised to pivot and adapt to the ever-evolving needs of today’s pet owner. Beke and Geoff will also investigate the shifting demographics of today’s pet owners and how generational changes, cultural influences, and urbanization all produced dramatic shifts in product preferences, services, and market messaging.
