Identification of the Dog Shower Market Gap

The idea of the dog shower emerged unexpectedly during interviews focusing on a different topic, with a customer highlighting the struggle of showering dogs. This gap in the market was further supported by desk research indicating a growing market for pet hygiene products and specific customer requests for dog showers, particularly in the US, where pet owner enthusiasm is high.
