185: Roundtable: Future of the Pet Care Industry

What does the future of pet care look like? 2020 taught us a lot of lessons, changed our behavior, our client's behavior, and opened up many new opportunities. We have a roundtable discussion with Daniel Reitman, owner of Dan's Dog Walking and Pet Sitting, Natasha O'Banion, owner of Start. Scale. Sail. and Renzo and Ruby, and Doug Keeling, owner of Bad to the Bone Pet Care. We cover how the industry will change in the next 10 to 20 years and how pet care providers will need to grow and adapt. From the changing expectations of clients, growing commoditization of technology, and even the increasing importance of social causes, we talk about how we can start gearing up for those changes. Topics on this episode: Changing technology Changing services Changing client behavior and expectations Importance of social causes Main take away: Change doesn't have to be scary.
