Hope you’re having a fantastic day! Today, we have an exciting story to share, one that ties closely to the burgeoning pet industry in Bangladesh.
In case you didn’t know, the pet industry is growing rapidly in Bangladesh. There’s a strong correlation between a country’s economic growth and its citizens’ willingness to adopt or purchase animals as companions. Over the past five years, we’ve seen a similar trend in Bangladesh, where all things related to pets have experienced a boom.
Whether it’s pet food, pet hotels (like our own Furryghor, which we launched last year with immediate success), pet toys, or veterinary services, the market in Bangladesh has seen significant growth across the board.
But despite this growth, we believe there’s a puzzle piece missing—something that could further elevate the pet industry in Bangladesh. One of those missing pieces is the concept of a dedicated pet grooming parlour.
We know this might sound a bit unusual at first, but then again, so did the idea of a pet hotel when we first introduced it.
Let’s take a look at an inspiring example from across the globe—a story of a girl who turned her passion for dogs into a thriving business in the U.S. market just two years ago.

What started as a simple YouTube channel where she talked about dogs quickly turned into a successful business. She launched a website, Girl With The Dogs, where she began selling dog-related products and, more importantly, created a fun and profitable grooming business on the side.

And her YouTube channel: Girl With The Dogs YouTube Channel
Her YouTube channel, featuring dog grooming videos, has garnered millions of views. While the channel alone generates substantial revenue, her real business is the dog grooming parlour she runs, which is now generating millions annually.
The business model is simple yet brilliant:
- Create engaging content about dogs.
- Build a following of dog lovers.
- Start selling dog supplies.
- Launch a grooming service that every dog owner needs.
And just like that, you have a successful business.
The Opportunity in Bangladesh
We’ve seen a few dog parlours popping up in Bangladesh as well, with one of the most notable being Pet Grooming BD. However, none of them are run at the professional level or scale that we believe is possible, leaving the industry wide open for disruption.
This might sound like a joke, but it’s not. A significant portion of urban Dhaka loves their animals, and as high spenders, they represent some of the best customer types.
Our goal with today’s blog is to encourage you to think differently about the pet industry in Bangladesh. Don’t just focus on selling pets—think bigger. Explore the broader opportunities, such as grooming services, pet products, and more.
