When did people start buying pets?

In the United States, people have been buying pets for centuries. The earliest known pet purchase was a dog by a man named John Jacob Astor in 1809. Today, Americans spend billions of dollars on their pets each year. Pets have become such a staple in American households that it's hard to imagine life without them.

A history of pet businesses

The pet industry as we know it has only just begun to rise in enormously profitable strength within the last two decades, despite the fact that the idea of having pets has existed for centuries. As pet owners strive to provide their beloved animals with the best of the best, people are making significant investments in pet-specific products, services, and amenities. As a result, nearly any business idea that is related to pets is thriving. Even though the pet business industry is currently flourishing, this was not always the case. The opening of a dog-boarding facility in New York City in the 1880s marks the beginning of pet businesses. The first commercial kennel set the trend for pet owners to pay others to take care of their animals when they were unable to do so for themselves. As a result, a slew of niche pet businesses popping up all over the country began providing boarding, grooming, and other pet-related services. Around the turn of the century, the first pet stores started to appear. Smaller stores usually only carried the most fundamental items, like food and leashes, for individual pet owners. However, many of these businesses grew to include live animals for sale, resulting in larger franchises of pet stores that could be consistently found in US cities. Professional animal grooming had become a common pet-related business by the middle of the 20th century, and the 1970s and 1980s saw an explosion of pet-specific services and products, such as furniture, toys, treats, and even doggy daycares and spas. Pet-related businesses began to flourish during this time period as so-called "pet parents" demanded higher standards of care, products, and services. The development of the internet only served to accelerate the expansion of the pet industry. Pet owners no longer had to rely on physical stores to get the essentials they needed because they could now buy them online. This made it possible for specialized pet businesses to continue expanding, each of which could now offer specific products to a larger customer base. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to even provide a brief overview of the variety of pet-related businesses that exist today. There are numerous pet-focused businesses in every major city, making it possible to build an entire lifestyle around having pets. It's easy to see how many businesses, services, and products have emerged from the idea of caring for animals when looking back on the history of pet businesses. It's exciting to think about what this burgeoning industry might accomplish in the future.
