SHANGHAI: Pet owners are looking for creative ways to shield their four-legged friends from the heat as conditions in China soar, so they are purchasing cooling mats, clothing, and small sun hats for dogs and cats.
A public relations expert in Shanghai named Mi Jiayi spent more than 500 yuan($ 70.04 ) on a cooling vest for Mary, the small mixed-breed dog she adopted. She dips it in waters before wringing it out to apply it.
The 31-year-old person said,” When we go out, if the temperature is over 30 degree Celsius, I will put on for cooling clothes on my dog.” ” My dog won’t be as hot because the water will melt and remove the steam.”
There are less expensive alternatives, but … The best item I can purchase is what I want to give her.
Searches on Alibaba’s Taobao and JD.com website markets reveal hundreds of similar sun and heat security products for dogs and cats that can cost as much as US$ 100.
According to Euromonitor International data, the Chinese puppy market, which includes everything from toys and health care to waste and clothing, was for US$ 5.16 billion in 2022.
According to the business research company, it is anticipated to increase to almost US$ 6 billion this time.
