The average salon receives 15-25 dogs per day; has appointments lasting 1.5-3 hours per dog \u2014 and they are always full. <\/p>\n<p>The self-service laundry receives 5-10 dogs per day and requires only 10-15 minutes per dog. It solves the accessibility problem that salons will never be able to solve. <\/p>\n<h2>Trend: Humanization of Pets<\/h2>\n<p>The global trend of &#8220;humanizing&#8221; dogs \u2014 treating them as members of the family \u2014 leads to:<\/p>\n<ul><li>Greater spending on care (bathroom, cosmetics, healthy food)<\/li><li>More frequent bathing (used to be 1x a month, now 1-2x a week)<\/li><li>Demand for 24\/7 access to services<\/li><\/ul>\n<h2>Conclusion for Entrepreneurs<\/h2>\n<p>The pet business in Serbia is growing, the demand is huge, and self-service dog washes are still a new idea without real competition.
