The pet industry has been one of the few markets that proved to be nearly recession proof. While the rate of purchases slightly decreases, revenue expanded and remained strong during the worst parts of the recession. This has contributed greatly to the projected 4.4% estimated revenue growth that is expected to occur through 2016. Franchising opportunities are also gaining popularity with services offered that range from grooming, training, and pet daycare. The market segment of dogs offers a wide array of opportunities for savvy entrepreneurs. A selection of dog company names from the United States are provided below to help inspire the creation of your own unique brand.
