Chinanews�� Nanning, July 12 �C In Nanning, there are beauty parlors for
dogs, training centers for dogs, and even beauty contests of dogs. All
these show that "pet trend" from east China has reached this capital city
in Guangxi, and the pet dog economy has formed many new industries here.
Nanning has just held an international pet dog contest on July 9. The
3-day event attracted thousands of visitors. At the beginning of 2006, a
pet dog expo was held here, too. Never mention small-scale activities,
like beauty contests, fashion shows and sports meets. They are
uncountable in today's Nanning.
There might be 30,000 to 50,000 pet dogs in Nanning, according to the
estimation of Nanning Animal Protection Association, each costing about
400 to 500 yuan per month on food, hairdressing, and medical care. Sun
Rong, secretary-general of NAPA told our reporter that if mating,
clothing, toys and photographing were taken into consideration; dog
owners would have to pay a lot more.
With the boom in the dog economy, many new pet industries like pet
lodging center, training center, mating agency and dog photography have
come into being. Some Hong Kong companies, like the Lotus Dog Training
Center, have started business in Nanning. Local companies with overseas
ties have the service of "mating your dog with the famous dog species
from Britain and Germany". Many pet saloons and pet clubs have also
started their takeoff with the booming dog economy.
Furthermore, a new specialty of pet management has been set up in Nanning
No.2 Secondary Technical School. It is also the first pet-related
specialty with international authentication in China, and many students
have shown deep interest in it.
