There are many kinds of dog all over the world. Chihuahuas and miniature dachshunds are boom in Japan. Indeed, I have a chihuahua. I’m far gone on him.
Recently people feed dogs and spend lots of money for them. Do you know the size of dog market in Japan? It is about $3.4 billion. Owners buy foods, clothes, accessories and even nailariums. This is crazy, isn’t this? If you stroll around Tokyo, you can see several dog’s cafes, which deal with excellent food like I can eat.
I sometimes search for dog’s products on the Internet. There are plenty of things. However everything looks same. Even if I find nice clothes or accessories, those are quite expensive and usually from Italy. I wish some Italian dog’s brands were here with reasonable prices. Then the market will be enlarged, because Japanese people love European design. In fact girls love Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermes, and more. All of those are from Western Europe.
Ginza & Azabu are parts of the most expensive areas in Japan. People, who live around these areas, are rich mostly, and they have dogs. I know one shop in Azabu, they must make lots of profits. If you are an investor, I recommend you to invest Japanese pet industry. (Sorry for the money talk…)
What I wanna say is that Japan is now a dog’s country. I’m happy on it.
