Coops and Cages announces to the pet industry its latest updates in their prices for rabbit hutches this year, 2015, aiming to provide sturdy and affordable houses for bunnies.

Carlton, Victoria -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/26/2015 -- Pet owners are finding it a challenge to keep pet rabbits healthy as summer arrives. Storing is becoming harder as bunnies grow.

Following their plans of expansion in 2014, Coops and Cages ™, one of the leading rabbit home providers in Australia has announced its price changes earlier this April. As of this writing, the website is offering a 72 hour sale, which gives up to 38% off on all its rabbit hutches products.

Previously, Jordan Walker, a pet enthusiast from Coops and Cages, was quoted saying about their plans of expansion "Our Company's expansion will help more pet owners provide more comfort and care for their beloved pets. They can also be confident in the fact that our products will be more exciting, more attractive, and more suitable for both their homes and animal companions". Besides rabbits, they are keen on providing enclosures for other pets such as dogs, cats, ferrets and chickens. In relation, the company released a press release announcing their dedication to create innovative home solutions for the poultry industry this March and extended help to local pet charities through pet enclosure donations just recently.

"There are more pets living in Australia than there are people", states the Animal Health Alliance in their 2013 pet ownership survey in the continent, further stating it as one of the top scorers in pet ownership in the whole world at 63%. This was reiterated in an article by RSCPA.org, an organization concerned with re-homing rabbits, with Victoria and New South Wales accounting for 60% of all these pets. In 2009 alone, rabbits, along with other small mammals accounted for a good 1.06 million in the Australian pet population.

With the pet industry in Australia booming in general, there is little doubt as to the needs for rabbit enclosures to provide more comfortable and safer environment for the creatures. Rabbits can live indoor or outdoor lives. Harsh environment can affect these animals, so sheltering them will greatly decrease this chance. Keeping the pets in hutches when outside is considered a safer choice. In line with the mission to provide quality enclosures for pets, Coops and Cages ™ is dropping their prices in wood and mesh rabbit hutches, from small to large sizes. Further, interested buyers could avail of the website's free shipping Australia wide service, which they offer along with a 100% money back guarantee and a year product warranty.

Based on statistics, homeless animals outnumber homeless people with a ratio of 5:1. Animal shelters became too crowded and there are lesser enclosures to house the poor animals. To answer this need, Coops And Cages extends help to local pet charities by donating pet enclosures.

Carlton, Victoria -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/13/2015 -- According to DoSomething.org, one of the largest global organizations for young people and social change, there are more homeless animals than homeless people with a number of 5 to 1. These homeless animals such as cats and dogs are mostly found on the streets. If the animal control found these stray cats and dogs, they would end up in the already overcrowded animal shelters. However, each year, there are about 2.7 million pets killed in these adoptive homes due to a serious lack of pet enclosures and other basic needs. To help remedy this problem, Coops And Cages joined the movement of donating pet enclosures to local pet charities.

As one of the most successful pet enclosure online stores in Australia, Coops And Cages is known for its quality-produced cat enclosures and dog kennels. Aside from building cat and dog homes, they also build homes for ferrets, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, as well as chickens. Believing that every animal needs a home, the company strives to make innovative pet enclosure products to meet every animal's housing needs.

Through donating pet enclosures to the local animal adoptive homes, more cats and dogs will be able to live a better life which is deprived by their previous owners. With more individual pet enclosures, the animal charity volunteers will be able to minimize pet commotions and they will be able to isolate animals that are in dire need of medical attention. Pet enclosures also help manage the population of cats and dogs. Since not all animals in the shelters are spayed or neutered, there is a high possibility that these animals become overpopulated which often leads to more killings every year. Hence, an enclosure is not simply a house for animals; it is also one of the means to protect them.

Jordan Walker, one of the dog kennel specialists at Coops And Cages™ was quoted saying, "If we really care for these homeless animals found on the streets, there are three ways on how we can help them. First is by adopting them, or if we cannot afford to have a new pet in our home, the second thing we can do for them is to find them a home in animal shelters. However, even animal shelters lack the means to support the housing needs of these poor animals as the shelters today are overcrowded. What's the third thing that we can do? That is by donating whatever we have to the animal shelters so that they may be able to continue providing utmost care for these animals. As for us, we would like to show our support to the local pet charities by donating the much needed pet enclosures."

In other parts of the world, canine influenza has already spread in epidemic proportions which raise concern among dog owners. To prevent this illness, Coops And Cages took a one step ahead to protect every pet dog’s health by creating quality shelters for them.

Carlton, Victoria -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/13/2015 -- Based on a recent news from Chicago (March 30, 2015), canine influenza is striking hundreds of dogs. It was reported that within a week, there were already more than 70 dogs that are afflicted with this disease. According to Natalie Marks, veterinarian of the Blum Animal Hospital, canine influenza is all over the land of Chicago and there were already some fatalities recorded.

Though there is no news of canine influenza outbreak in Australia, Coops And Cages, one of the leading pet enclosure stores online, is on the alert. This illness that strikes dogs may not be a reason for panic since symptoms subside within a few weeks on its own. However, it can still cause a dog's death especially the ones with a poor immune system.

Originally, this illness rooted from the highly contagious equine influenza A virus subtype H3N8. Yes, the pneumonia that's affecting most dogs originally came from a horse's respiratory illness. The disease starts to spread in horse-racing tracks which are at the same time, a dog-racing track. On August 24, 2007, there was a recorded equine influenza outbreak in Sydney, Australia, and another one on December 22, 2007 in New South Wales and Queensland. Though there are reports that the disease had already been eradicated, the equine influenza, the root cause of canine influenza, can grow back if the virus is able to live in favourable conditions such as an overcrowded and stressful environment. The infection can also be transferred to every dog by means of contact transmission.

To prevent every pet dog from acquiring the disease, Coops And Cages tries to create spacious and comfortable dog kennels. With enough room for the dog, it will help to create a non-stressful environment. The company always makes sure that there will be enough ventilation in every dog enclosure they make by building sliding windows. The dog cage can also help isolate already infected dogs so as not to transmit the disease to other pets in the household. Isolating the dog while giving it with the necessary nutrition and vet care, the dog can regain its normal health within a few weeks.

Jordan Walker, the dog enclosure specialist at Coops And Cages™ was quoted saying, "We don't need to wait for a canine influenza outbreak to happen here in our country before we start worrying about our pet dog's health. As early as now, we need to take action to prevent this illness affecting our dogs. What can we do? By providing our pet dogs with a spacious and non-stressful shelter, and by giving them the right nutrition and care, we can always protect our dear friends from being afflicted with this disease."

As the demand for poultry meat continuously grows in Australia, more and more people are encouraged to raise poultry livestock on their own. An increase in chicken farming also demands for more chicken shelters. To answer to this problem, Coops And Cages decided to provide innovative home solutions for poultry animals, specifically chickens.

Carlton, Victoria -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/12/2015 -- Based on a 2011 survey conducted by Rabobank, the global leader in Food and Agri financing and sustainability-oriented banking, meat forms an important part of the diet for most people around the world, and poultry meat comprises the 35 percent of the 285 million tonnes of meat consumed annually. In addition, Australia's chicken meat production has increased for more than 160 percent in the last two decades. But to ensure the steady production of chicken meat, chickens need to be fed and sheltered. To answer the demands of better chicken homes, Coops And Cages has created a variety of high quality chicken coops.

Being one of the leading online pet enclosure stores, Coops And Cages always tries to produce quality pet enclosure products that could serve as comfortable and healthy homes for different kinds of animals such as cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, as well as chickens. In order for chickens to yield quality meat and eggs, they needed a certain amount of care. From eating a nutritious diet to having a sheltered home, chickens have to be protected from the changing weather condition and possible predators.

Though some chicken breeds are hardy birds or one that could withstand any extreme weather and be resilient to any type of disease, they still need a roof that could provide them security and warmth. Chicken farmers are aware that chickens also need to graze or forage for the birds to maintain a healthy and natural diet. Foraging also allows the chickens to have a bit of exercise. However, chicken farmers still need to protect them from predators such as domestic cats and dogs, hawks, opossums, skunks, weasels, coyotes, etc. This is where the importance of a chicken coop comes in.

Coops And Cages has known this need for several years so they developed innovative home solutions for chickens. Depending on the consumer's needs, the company has formulated different chicken coop products with varying features and dimensions so that the consumers could find the perfect fit in their backyard. Whether it's a small, average-sized or big enclosure, the company assures that its chicken homes are of the top quality and one that could last for a lifetime. For these reasons, the company has gained a reputation of being one of the best pet enclosure providers.

Jordan Walker, the chicken enclosure specialist at Coops And Cages™ was quoted saying, "Due to the increasing world population, not only in Australia, we are definite that there will also be an increased demand for food, including poultry meat. In line with this, we have thought of a way on how to contribute and answer this need. And we have found one of the answers–that is to provide a comfortable, healthy and safe home for chicken poultry. If we could not provide chickens with this type of basic need, then how could we answer the increased demand for quality poultry meat?"

GlobalGiving will be matching donations to Palomacy Pigeon & Dove Adoptions up to $1,000 per donor at 30%. Coops and Cages urges animal lovers and advocates to support the cause.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/26/2015 -- From 6 a.m. until noon or until funds run out on March 18, 2015, donations made to Palomacy Pigeon & Dove Adoptions online through the charity fundraising website, GlobalGiving, will earn a bonus match. GlobalGiving aims to match donations of up to $1,000 per donor at 30%. Proceeds from the fundraising project will go towards Palomacy's expenses in providing veterinary care and placement services for domestic, unreleased doves and pigeons in the San Francisco Bay Area that would otherwise be euthanized. Coops and Cages, a pet enclosures retailer and strong supporter of pet welfare, encourages the animal-loving community to lend a hand to the cause and receive a bonus in return.

Formally called the GlobalGiving Foundation-Save Domestic Pigeons and Doves From Euthanasia project, the project enables Palomacy to continue its campaign of saving hundreds of birds from euthanasia in animal shelters by providing vet care and foster and forever homes. Through the fundraising, the network of volunteers will be able to get across to a wider audience the message that euthanasia is not an alternative to adoption. According to the GlobalGiving website, Palomacy has received over $65,000 of funding to date and needs about $24,000 more to achieve its funding goal of $90,000.

Begun in 2007 by founder Elizabeth Young, then as MickaCoo, Palomacy has saved over 600 birds that would have otherwise been killed in shelters. The volunteer-powered, donation-funded group closes a gap in the animal rescue community by focusing efforts on domestic, unreleasable pigeons and doves, which are often overlooked. According to Palomacy, pigeons and doves are bred to depend on humans for their basic needs. What most people do not realize is that these companion birds are smart and gentle. Today, Palomacy mobilizes supporters and volunteers in publicizing the plight of pigeons and doves. This partnership with GlobalGiving for funding should allow Palomacy to carry on their work.

GlobalGiving aims to be an organization "full of solutions" for a world "full of problems." They offer opportunities for non-profits around the world a chance to raise money for their respective causes. They provide support to solutions managed by innovative, grassroots projects and groups. Through the project, GlobalGiving and Palomacy hope to increase awareness on the problem of euthanizing domestic birds in shelters and gather support for pigeons and doves lined up for euthanasia in shelters.

Meanwhile, Jordan Walker, pet enclosures designer at Coops and Cages and all-around animal enthusiast, voices out the company's support for the project. "The project definitely advances the cause against euthanasia in shelters and allows groups like Palomacy to encourage each one of us in the pet and animal community to be humane. To love animals and provide them with the best care is at the heart of what we do at Coops and Cages. We are moved by the noble goals of this event. It has our total support."

With the economy recovering and more people living alone or in their golden years, the pet industry is set for a very profitable next four years, says Melbourne retailer Coops and Cages.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/09/2015 -- The pet industry is poised to profit handsomely in the next four years until 2019 due to ever-increasing pet ownership and more expensive purchases, thanks to improving economic conditions. This prospect has gotten pet retailers keyed up on perfecting their products and services to create premium items and amenities that pet consumers expect in the market. Melbourne-based pet enclosures specialist Coops and Cages confirms this emerging trend, noting that as incomes rise with improving economies, more and more pet owners now prefer to shop at retailers that offer the best, even if more expensive, products and services.

The primary driving trend of all other trends currently prevailing in the pet industry is humanised pet ownership. Increasingly, people see their pets as members of the family, which has led pet owners to give more importance to the human-animal bond, as well as to become increasingly concerned about pet health. The humanisation of pets has led to the demand for better pet products and amenities, giving rise to the premium pet product shopper. Australian research company, IBISWorld, identifies this trend as a strong driver of growth in the industry at present. More and more pet owners agree to spending extra for products and services that contribute to the wellness of their pets. A portion of pet owners prefers shopping at retailers with the best products, even if these shops are more expensive. In America, the baby boomer population comprises a significant portion of pet owners. Still, pet ownership is increasing across the world, says IBISWorld, notably among single-person households and Generations X and Y, the latter of which refer to their pets as "furry babies."

Apparently, the trend in premium pet products has taken hold. The 2015 Consumer Electronics Show has unveiled a "new breed of connected technology" aimed at consumers looking to bring pets digitally up to speed. Among the techie pet products featured on the show are various electronic monitoring systems that enable an owner to track a pet via GPS and live-stream video or interact with their furry baby via remote microphone or built-in laser. Petnet also unveiled on the show its spin on the pet food dispenser, which Petnet endowed with robotic properties, still in the name of pet food control. Released months before the show, however, was PetChatz, a video conferencing system that allows owners to video chat with their dogs and release scents and treats, as well as allow dogs to call their owner by barking at the sensor. Nevertheless, the U.S. Pet Market Outlook 2014-2015 comprehensive report says pet food remains as the highest selling pet product. Pet owners are now patronising premium brands even during harsh economic times, generally regarding expensive pet food as the healthier option in the market.

In the pet services niche, pet resorts, doggie suites and even cat cafes are all the rage. The Pet Paradise Resorts in Florida, which has multiple branches in four states, and closer to home, the Hanrob Pet Hotel in Melbourne, offers accommodation by the airport for pets of jet-setting pet owners. Meanwhile, the Cat Cafe, a Purina ONE-funded coffee shop in New York, has taken the first step towards creating cat-friendly bistros, which have been dog terrain for years. Cat cafes have long been a thing in Japan and, more recently, in key European cities. As the pet industry thrives, small businesses are expected to target niche markets to set themselves apart.

IBISWorld estimates industry pet revenue to increase annually at 2.3% to US$17.6 billion in the four years to 2019. Jordan Walker, pet enclosures expert at Coops and Cages, receives this four-year projection warmly. "We at Coops and Cages care about the forecasts and are completely expecting a positive turnout for pet businesses in the next five years. Then again, this is not a time for complacency among retailers but for increased product innovation and development. We pet products merchants should make full use of the pet industry's golden age."

With some parts of the world currently enduring cold weather, Melbourne-based pet home retailer advises small pet owners to provide better protection of their pets against the elements.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/04/2015 -- Coops and Cages, a Melbourne-based pet enclosures company, suggests small pet owners to proof their pets' shelters against harsh conditions, especially under the cold weather currently experienced in parts of the world. The pet housing retailer emphasises that pets need sturdy housing structures, especially if they are set up outdoors. Although this housing situation is not advisable in winter and cold weather, pet owners who elect to separate small pets from the household should ensure their pets have everything they need to withstand the elements.

The Coops and Cages advisory comes in light of recent news of pets left outdoors despite the freezing cold. On Monday, January 26, news had broken of about 100 bunnies left outside to endure the cold and apparently, the impending blizzard as well, in Brooklyn, New York, just as the weather was about to turn for the bitter. A snowstorm was due to hit the city and areas of Northeastern United States, prompting eyewitnesses to report the situation to the police. The rabbits were seen hopping within a fenced area with no effective means of shielding themselves against the inclement weather. When the owner failed to comply with the police to shelter the rabbits, they seized the animals with the help of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Animal Care and Control of New York City.

Although small animals like rabbits can get through extreme cold in the wild, they do so by seeking shelter and means of warming themselves, or else perish from blistering winds and extreme temperatures. Rabbits do well by puffing their fur and finding what they can to eat to retain heat. However, in domestic situations, rabbits are often kept in outdoor hutches and are at the mercy of the elements come winter and summer. Without freedom to hop around and find thickets for shelter, rabbits must rely on their owners to batten down the hatches and keep them fed and watered. Rabbits can use their fur to retain body heat, but once they get wet, they are less able to maintain optimal body temperature.

Owners of small pets can take measures to ensure their pets thrive outdoors throughout the cold months. With rabbits, owners need to ensure water is constantly available. Since the dispensing tube of water bottles tends to freeze in the cold, ceramic water bowls are best for keeping rabbits hydrated in wintertime. However, frequent checks are needed to ensure the water does not freeze. Another important thing for owners to consider is adequate shelter against wind, rain and snow. Plastic sheeting stapled to the sides of the rabbit hutch can greatly minimize the chill factor while allowing sunlight to warm the cage naturally. To avoid drafts, the sheeting should be run down near to the ground. However, owners need to take care in maintaining ventilation to prevent closing off bunnies, which can cause breathing problems. Keeping bunnies well-fed in the weeks before and throughout winter is critical to help them build up body fat, which they will use up to keep warm.

Jordan Walker, head pet enclosure designer at Coops and Cages, confirms the company's sentiments. "Rabbits are resilient but frail creatures. Get one factor wrong and you run the risk of exposing the critters to various weather-related health problems. To keep rabbits snug and cosy, provide clean water, lots of hay and sturdy housing, especially if you are keeping them out in the backyard. As one of the biggest pet lovers on the planet, we, Australians, need to be models of exemplary pet care."

As the growth of the pet industry intensifies, pet products retailer Coops And Cages predicts demand for pet pampering services and meal takeaway deliveries will go up.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/15/2015 -- Pet pampering and other premium services should see a further boost in revenues in the upcoming year, says pet housing retailer Coops And Cages™. The Melbourne-based company bases predictions on the 2014 performance trend in the pet industry, which has seen record sales in the last few years. Apparently, Australians love to spoil their doggies and moggies. Pet pampering has been the fastest growing pet service industry in the country since the first half of the previous year. Among the services with the fastest growing demand are dog walking, pet boarding and animal grooming.

Online business marketplace Oneflare showed in a report that Australia has been pampering her pets more than ever last year. The service with the highest growth was dog training, with a demand spurt of 981.82 percent, followed by dog walking with 443.14 percent, pet boarding with 441 percent and grooming with 264 percent. Most owners and managers in the pet business have noted with interest the high uptake of pet pampering services, most of which are traffic coming through online listings of such pet facilities. The ever-increasing use of social networks may have contributed to the ease of and the resulting increase in business through the internet. However, the ongoing trend of humanising pets by pet-owning households remains the primary contributing factor to the unprecedented growth of the pet industry. The industry has thrived slowly but surely despite economic downturns in recent years.

Another novel pet pampering service on the rise is the option to order takeaway meals for pets, which are delivered along with regular customers' food orders. At least eight restaurants in Sydney have begun extending the service, called Doggy Bags, to customers' pets through the online takeaway service, Delivery Hero. The participating restaurants' chefs prepare these gourmet pet meals, which are deemed to be nutritionally balanced and minimally seasoned. The Doggy Bags come in 440-ml and 770-ml sizes and cost from AUD 4 to AUD 9. The pet takeaway service is yet another testimony to Australians' growing demand for premium pet products and services.

Jordan Walker, product design consultant at Coops And Cages™, comments, "We are in the golden age of the pet industry. Never before have we experienced what can only be described as a mind-boggling surge in business, and we are currently enjoying the rewards. As this trend holds, we can only expect more and more innovations in the services and products we can offer to pamper Australia's beloved furry companions." Coops And Cages™ have also soaked up the boon of the pet industry boom, being a leading provider of premium pet housing products.

As the pet industry continues to grow despite less-than-favourable economic conditions, Coops And Cages™ believes this unprecedented industry trend will bring about more opportunities for the business to climb up the revenue ladder.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/31/2014 -- Coops And Cages™ believes that if the pet industry continues to move from strength to strength, they could expand the business and possibly consider offering franchise. The pet housing retailer says they might be able to invest in furthering development of the business possibly to seize a share of the national market. The company is currently on the lookout for opportunities to gain a greater foothold in key cities in the country, ready to scout for future locations.

Many industry trends reports, such as that of MultiBriefs, reinforce the optimistic outlook shown by Coops And Cages™. Most industry reports have all noted how the pet industry has risen despite the economic downturns of the last few years. The continuing increase in pet ownership across the major cities in the world has propelled an increased spending on pets, with most purchases being on premium products and services. The pet industry has already been dubbed recession-proof on several occasions, given the tendency of households to open their purses for pet purchases despite tightening the budget elsewhere. As economies recover and pet owners continue to humanise pets, the industry will only see a sustained boost upward.

Pet professionals and product retail businesses stand to profit should the pet industry continue to remain strong in its current performance. As the "pet parenting" trend among pet owners grows, a demand for specialized products and services will continue to rise. With the industry projected to grow at four percent every year through to 2018, retailers and professionals will do well to develop new products and services that push the trend forward. Among the most popular are premium pet foods and treats, pet boarding and grooming, pet therapy, pet walking and training, and pet insurance. Pet salons and spas are popping up, as well. The industry may already be in the beginnings of its golden age. Already, franchises that offer products and services specialized for pets are taking hold.

Jordan Walker, marketing analyst at Coops And Cages™, believes that Australian pet businesses will likely get a share of the pie. "Only very few industries can guarantee a continued upward trend in revenues, and with over 60% of pet ownership rates in the country, we are certain that we will reap the benefits of the golden age of the pet industry."

Coops And Cages, Melbourne-based retailer of pet beds, enclosures, and carriers, hopes to expand the business across the country to accommodate its growth in the national market.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/29/2014 -- Although no definite plans are in place yet, Coops And Cages™ say they might be able to invest in an expansion of the business and possibly offer franchising opportunities in the future. These business developments are likely to come to fruition for the company should the pet industry continue its upward economic trend, which predictions say will hold. Coops And Cages™ continues to seek opportunities across Australia for future locations from which they can provide quality products to the communities in prospect areas. The company has yet to identify these locations.

Global sales of pet products continue to rise despite flagging economies, with total worldwide spending amounting to US$81 billion according to Euromonitor International. This is largely due to increased pet ownership, as well as the increased treatment of pets as family members. As households continue to humanise their pets, they continue to spend even on discretionary purchases. Due to this change of attitude towards animals, more and more pet owners are buying their pets holiday presents, designer outfits, and gadgets like automatic food dispensers and electronic toothbrushes.

Australia has one of the highest pet ownership rates in the world. According to IBISWorld, over 60% of Australian households have a pet. Although the total number of pets in the country has decreased, the spending rate has risen significantly, with spending identified mostly in premium pet products and services.

The annual revenue growth in pet products and services is expected to increase at 4.4% towards 2016, with earnings in the United States expected at US$75.09 billion by 2017. FranchiseHelp.com also notes an increase in franchises of pet-related businesses such as grooming, dog training and pet day care. Under such an economically conducive environment, at least for the pet industry, Coops And Cages™ hopes to provide greater access to their products to more and more consumers through the proposed franchising.

"The coming year is filled with exciting opportunities, and we are looking to take advantage of each one," says Jordan Walker, product design specialist at Coops And Cages™. "We have already begun to open ourselves to opportunities for growth with the launch of new products. We intend to continue working on serving more locales and finding the right circumstances to make franchises of our business possible." Recently, the pet enclosures retailer has announced their instalment of a POS system. The company believes that the upgrade has translated to better service for customers, as well as improved support for employees.

Carlton, Victoria -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/12/2014 -- Although there are no definite plans yet to say that this will definitely happen in the future, one of the top executives of Coops and Cages, a pet housing retailer based in Australia, said that they might be able to offer their business as a franchise, if the pet industry in general records an upward movement economically. Judging from the look on his face and the trends occurring in the pet industry right now, it's as if the franchise is good as a sealed deal.

As if to prove that the CEO may be on the right track, Franchise Help, with its Pet Industry Analysis for 2014, mentioned that some specific types of businesses within the pet industry are flourishing though their franchise programs. Some of these included those that are engaged in training, grooming, and pet day care services. The growth for training services is tied to the need of owners to tame their unruly pets and the dire need for trained canine pals to serve as detectives with their powerful noses in certain facilities. Pet grooming businesses on the other hand contribute to attract pet owners who are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on spa treatments for their pets.

Meanwhile, the pet industry as a whole is projected to be wealthier than before. Although there are still a few days left before the year is officially ended, earlier reports claimed that this was expected to earn $64.92 this year in the US. This figure is even expected to balloon for up to $75.09 billion by 2017. A breakdown offered by Peternity.com showed that this included 5% increase in veterinary sales at $22.93 billion (2014), 4.5% increase in pet food sales from 2013 to $21.99 billion, and 4.5% increase in pet supplies from 2013 to $12.47 billion. The website further noted that 83% of owners consider their pets are real members of the family; hence they are willing to spend on these like they would spend on their own needs.

For Jordan Walker, head of the marketing department in Coops and Cages, he is very excited about the CEO's mention of the possible franchise opportunity in the future. But more than this, he is more excited about how they would make their products accessible to many pet owners, saying, "I am a dog owner myself. Yes, consider me guilty for spending a little more than necessary on my pets and treating them like real family. You can say that I understand how other pet owners feel. They want the best for their pets. And if you are looking for durable and affordable housing for your pet, we have these in our store."

Several entities were able to strengthen their business prospects, thanks to awards garnered in the past, and now, Coops and Cages is saying that it secretly hopes to be recognised too.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/05/2014 -- In the business industry, awards are valued since these are considered free advertising for its winners. But apart from the free campaign, awards can give any business credibility, which could help them gain more audience, always considered good for increasing profits. That is why big or small, being in the list of possible awardees is considered a positive news for any entity. In the pet industry, one of the top executives of Coops and Cages, a pet housing business, admitted that he would love their business to be recognised too though such awards.

Aside from exposure, what are the other things that could be running through the minds of the winners? This November 4, the Better Business Bureau gave the Torch Award for the Small Business Category to PetFirst Pet Insurance. This was specifically open to local businesses and non-profit organizations thatare servicing the Louisville, Southern Indiana and Western Kentucky areas. For Kelly Grant, CEO of PetFirst, the award was not only a reflection of the company as a whole, but shows the individual input of every single employee, always choosing to do the right thing as expected of them.

In the UK, Petplan may have been dubbed as the number one pet insurance provider because of the several awards won in the past years, and consistently at that too. In 2008, this won the Your Dog Best Insurance and the Your Cat Best Insurance awards. Since then, no year followed without the company at least gaining one recognition. Its latest award, the Customer Care Initiative of the Year this May, won by its Allianz' Animal Health Claims department, gave the company credit for its use of technology in communicating with its customers.

While awards are considered more beneficial for the winners, the Five Paw Award of Holydaying with Dogs, is considered more of a valuable resource for people who plan to take their canine pals on a trip. This is given to hotel accommodations that provide owners the extra comfort that their dogs will be considered special guests too.

Among the awards being given out in the pet industry, which of these is your dream award? Jordan Walker, Coops and Cages marketing manager, chuckled at the question and responded, "We're not being choosy at the moment. We would consider any award for the company as an honor. As long as this is going to showcase our business for better exposure, or as a way to recognise our efforts in delivering quality service to our customers, then an award will be always welcome."

Coops and Cages, a pet enclosure company in Australia, is now saying that with its new POS system, customers can now look forward to better service.

Carlton, Victoria -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/28/2014 -- Coops and Cages, a retail company that sells pet housing products, reportedly has been receiving massive orders from its website. Because of this, its CEO decided that an upgrade was needed to accommodate the needs of its growing number of customers, as well as provide support to its own employees. The new POS system has already been up for several days now. Although customers may not be able to tell the difference from their end, Coops and Cages CEO says that because of this, better service is what's in store for them.

So why is a POS system considered a significant improvement for a retail company like Coops and Cages? POS systems are designed with employees, customers, and its owner in mind. For the owner, it could mean the ability to track down the stats concerning the business at their location. POS can be accessed online, which means that the owner could have all the necessary data coming from several branches. Moreover, stats offered by POS system will allow the owner to determine if there is a need to replenish stocks, if there are stocks that are not moving well, or if items are lost due to theft.

POS systems can collect data from individual customers such as the things that they bought. This is beneficial for employees since it makes it easier for them to address complaints if there are any. Their workload is also reduced because they no longer need to manually check inventory with each single day. Moreover, a POS system will make it easier for the company to issue marketing campaigns through email, letting customers know if there are deals currently being offered. And this system will also help managers determine if such campaigns were successful simply taking a look into their sales within the said promo period.

However, in order to use its POS system, customers will need to log into their accounts, which will ask them to leave their email address. Many are not so keen to such arrangement for fear that security could be compromised. Jordan Walker, Coops and Cages' head of design department, says that indeed, this has already happened in other entities. "But we are different. You may have heard of other businesses divulging personal information of their customers to the general public. We certainly don't want to compromise our relationship by engaging in such acts since it means either our success or our downfall. We like to be on the safe side and keep things straight with our customers."

About Coops And Cages™

It prides itself for its outstanding customer service, along with products that are durable and innovative.

The ongoing success of product-based pet businesses is expected to continue through 2018. Aussie firm Coops and Cages says the franchising of pet services is the up and coming trend in the industry.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/17/2014 -- After proving itself recession proof, the pet industry will continue its upward growth trend at 4% per year through 2018, expecting an overall expenditure of US$67.56 billion (AUD 78.51 billion). This figure is calculated based on last year's total of US$55.53 billion (AUD 64.53 billion). All estimates are according to the IBIS World Industry Report. World pet markets continue to post dramatic, ever-continuing increases in pet ownership and spending for 2014. Product-based pet businesses have seen the highest growth in sales in the last few years. These businesses include pet food, pet supplies and veterinarian supplies, among others. However, franchises of various pet services are on the rise, predicts leading Australian pet enclosures retailer Coops And Cages™. Franchised services for grooming, pet day care and training have opportunities to peak in the next few years.

Given the favourable industry climate, franchises that offer specialised or a mix of pet services will only reap in the benefits. Specialty pet services are currently the fastest growing segment of the pet industry, which will only continue to rise as more people become pet owners who value their pets as family members. The most prominent pet services that present the highest franchise opportunities include pet day care, dog training, pet boarding services, grooming and waste removal. Specialty pet supplies are expected to rise as pet owners increasingly favour pet gourmet menus and pet foods labelled 'organic', 'all-natural' and 'grain-free'. Grooming services such as pet spas and beauty salons are ready for franchises, as well.

Pet pampering is becoming the norm especially among savvy and high-purchasing pet product consumers, which continues to account for spending despite difficult economic times. The sales of non-traditional pet products, similar to those humans use, are particularly on the rise. Pet owners are purchasing holiday presents, designer outfits, and specialty shampoo and food. The market is increasingly seeing mouthwash and high-tech gadgets like electronic toothbrushes and automated dispensers. More and more pet beauty salons are sprouting up as well. Dogs and birds can now get manicures complete with nail polish, in addition to an already elaborate range of grooming services available. As the economic recovery takes hold, the resulting increase in the disposable income of households is expected to drive the spending on pets further up.

Business in the pet sector has thrived and grown slowly but steadily throughout the years, defying typical recession trends of faltering and suffering sales slumps as seen in other industries. This sector trend has upheld since 2008 largely due to discretionary spending on products and services. While households have cut expenses in other areas, they continue to open wallets to pamper pets, clearly indicating that spending in the industry has gone beyond pet necessities. An increasing number of households have also triggered sales to shoot up. More and more people are owning pets, with a rise in upcoming pet markets like China, India, Japan and Latin America. The increased humanization of pets, where people view and treat their pets as part of the family, has largely shaped these favourable conditions in the industry.

Jordan Walker, industry analyst and content manager at Coops And Cages™, shares information on pet trends beyond 2014. 'Going forward, in the next five years, strong growth is projected for pet operations. The combined effects of increased discretionary income of households and increased pet ownership will only bolster the demand for specialty pet services and supplies.' Walker further believes that the steady upward industry trend can only mean good news for pets the world over. 'With more and more pet owners viewing their pets as family, the chance that pets will be loved and cared for throughout their natural lives increases significantly', he said.

Australian retailer Coops And Cages™ suggests turning to the web for help and exercising greater responsibility in preventing lost pets.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/06/2014 -- Australian firm Coops And Cages™ endorses using the internet to find lost pets. The pet enclosures retailer believes that enlisting for help through social media and the internet at large could speed up the process of reclaiming lost pets. Given the social media-inclined public, the company believes turning to social media has become more effective than plastering city lamp posts with lost pet flyers.

Some of the existing sites dedicated for such a purpose include the Queensland Lost Pet Register (QLPR), which uses Facebook and Twitter. QLPR provides a posting service run by volunteers who post and tweet sightings or lost and found cases. A paid service by LostPetFinders.com.au helps located lost pets through a wide network of organisations that include vets, councils, shelters, pounds and animal registries. The service also has a lost pet hotline. However, the service works more efficiently with registered pets.

The inability of city pounds and organisations such as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty Against Animals of locating the owners is largely due to a lack of information on pets. That is, most pets that get lost are highly likely unregistered. In Australia, 7.22% of the 3.41 million pets in the country get lost each year. This percentage forms part of the over 245,000 unwanted animals in Australia, 44,659 of which are euthanased 'due to no room for adoption', according to the Pet Industry Association of Australia. Recently, the Noosa Council reports over half of Noosa's 7,900 dogs remain unregistered despite sending notices to dog owners to renew or take up registration. According to the council, owners can be liable for a fine of $227.00 for failing to register their dogs.

Jason Walker, pet consultant and content curator at Coops And Cages™, advises pet owners to be more conscientious with registering their pets. 'We are provided more and more ways to make sure we are exercising optimal care of our pets. By registering our pets, we increase the probability of getting reunited with them in case they do get lost. At the same time, we avoid losing them inadvertently to the unfortunate statistic of "unwanted pets"', he comments. Walker further suggests keeping on some form of identification on pets. Pets Australia recommends equipping pets with external ID in addition to microchipping. Although many pet organisations will advocate for a microchip, an external ID with a contact number is easier to see by people who might find the pet, making it easier to report lost and found incidents.

About Coops And Cages™
Coops And Cages™ aims to become the largest and most trusted provider of pet housing in Australia. The company ensures the delivery time to client doors is the shortest possible.

Carlton, Victoria -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/05/2014 -- Dog businesses are successful because there are hundreds of dog owners nationwide.

Coops And Cages, Australian pet enclosure company, now openly encouraging the public to change animal conditions through donations.

Carlton, Victoria -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/03/2014 -- The pet industry may have seen a rise in its business prospects, judging from the positive news that it continues to attract. Its better sales forecast could be easily portrayed as people now becoming more responsible when it comes to animal care. But there is always another side to this story, an ugly truth that not everybody is aware of. In the case of pets, cruel and unjust treatment from the very people who are supposed to care for them. And this is what Australian company, Coops And Cages, wants to change with its campaign to support pet charity causes.

Coops And Cages is not the only one that's involved in such. In Perth, West Australians were encouraged just recently to bring their dogs with them for a fundraising event in support for the volunteer animal rescue service centers such as Pugs SOS. The event which was held at the Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex on October 26, was a canine convention that included several activities like free vet checks and dog competitions. For Pugs SOS, the convention meant so much more. With every photo taken at their 'Hug a Pug' pen, it was equivalent to a gold coin that they could use in their effort to provide medical treatment for abandoned or unwanted pugs.

As for a clearer picture on what happens when animals become subject to animal cruelty, a property in New South Wales was recently revealed to have kept at least 130 dogs in debilitating conditions. Animal rights activist Debra Tranter, after being alerted by the community, took pictures of the disgusting conditions of the dogs being kept there. One of the most horrid pictures featured was that of a pregnant Labrador, lying dead on the floor. Others included puppies that were kept on a bread basket with only a bloodied cloth to protect them from the cold, traumatized dogs, and several dogs kept together in one cage. Despite these evidences though, Frazer, the owner of the pet-milling farm, continues to run the business, with RSPCA chief inspector David O'Shannessy saying that the minimum standards for breeding facilities were met.

Although organizations such as RSPCA that should protect animal-welfare already exist, Jordan Walker, marketing strategist for Coops And Cages, says that individual participation from people who truly care still matters. "Although their intentions may be considered good, you can't really guarantee that their rules and regulations will indeed cover for all the needs of the animals that can't speak for themselves. We need individual opinion on what should become the standard of how to care for our pets. For Coops And Cages, it's our open campaign in reaching out to the community to volunteer and help abandoned pets through the skills that they already have, or by donating some of the still usable items to pet rescue groups."

Products offering convenience sell well. Premium products such as clothing, high tech gadgets and treats remain popular. This is the trend toward humanization of animals, especially in Western Europe. Pet owners see their pets as members of their family, thus they spend money on them accordingly. They have a budget for their pets. This is the very reason why pet product manufacturers do well in their business. They do not run out of patrons and customers.

For the customers that have decided to raise chickens, Coops and Cages has chicken enclosures just for their patronage. These enclosures are the appropriate shelters especially if the clients plan to raise flocks of chickens. Chickens need a place to feel secure and sleep. The enclosures at Coops and Cages provide them with the security and shelter that they need in order to breed even more and make the poultry business of the clients flourish even more.

Various chicken closure designs are available in the Internet nowadays. Coops and Cages give customers and clients the option to choose what they want their shelter to look like.

The pet industry is soaring not only with its solid ability to generate profit, but as an industry that encourages individual and organizational participation in several of its events.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/08/2014 -- When there's a movement in a certain industry, this often changes for the benefit of the business organisations that consist it. But that is not the case in the pet industry sector. The recent changes made as seen in the events sponsored by some of the organisations that make it up are geared towards not only for the betterment of their own business entities, but for the pets and the people who are involved in it.

It can't be denied that in the past decades, the men dominated most of the organisations, be this owned privately or publicly run by the government. But the pet industry is now one of the sectors that is trying to change that denomination and some organisations are now encouraging women to excel too. An example of this is the recently concluded Women in the Pet Industry Conference 2014 that was held this August 14 to 16 at Portland, Oregon. In here, women engaged in businesses related to pets came together to share business and marketing ideas, create partnerships, or simply attended the meeting to find inspiration from one of its women speakers.

And if the women are now obviously making a mark in this sector, the trend can be considered even better for the whole pet industry as seen in the 2014 Pet Industry's Top 2 Top Conference held on April 23-24, 2014 at the Amelia Island Plantation in Amelia Island, Florida. Some of its sponsors included the World Pet Association (WPA), American Pet Products Association (APPA), and Petco. This has been consistently recording a 20% increase in attendance each year, but this year, it recorded a whopping 39% increase in registrations. The conference provides information of current pet industry market trends, including other issues that can change the overall movement of the pet industry as a whole such as legislative issues. With its recorded massive attendance, this is an indication that the pet industry has more heads coming together, thinking of better ways to improve its business processes, including the possible improvements of pet industry services and products being offered in the market.

Jordan Walker, chicken coops quality control manager at Coops and Cages, predicts that other pet organisations in several countries will be put up not only for the benefit of the business owners, but as a genuine concern for domestic pets. "Many people nowadays consider their pets as real members of the family and when they do hear of news of one dog or cat getting, hurt, they understand very well how this is a very painful experience for the said animal. News travels very fast nowadays, thanks to social media sites and other media communication tools. With these, people can now easily come together with other people who share the same cause. I know that there are many people out there who want to house abandoned pets, fight for the ones that are being abuse by their owners, or simply find better ways to make pets lives healthier. It's only a matter of time before they find each other and create their own organisations and influence others to do the same."

Pet industry businesses have much to look forward to with pet owners expected to spend more on pet products and services like spa, luxury items, and health insurance.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/02/2014 -- If they are already receiving more attention than the previous years, most pets still have something better to look forward to in the coming years. Experts are now saying that pet owners are expected to spend more cash on different pet products and services. The pet industry has remained strong even during the recession. Now that the worldwide economy is taking a shift for the better, does this mean that pet owners around the globe will now be able to indulge their pets with expensive goods and services? So what could be the possible splurges that pets would be enjoying soon?

Purina offering health insurance may have found a niche that can earn them more in the future. Pet owners are now regarding their animal companions as real members of the family and are ensuring their health by buying health insurance for added coverage. Aside from insurance, a visit to the vet is now a standard practice for people with pet like dogs, and recorded a whopping $13 billion alone on vet bills as shown by the American Pet Products Association (APPA).

And if the ladies make it a point to go to the salon or spa for instant relaxation, many pet owners would want their pets to look just as good and treat them to the same types of services. They will be taking them more frequently on pet spa salons for hair and nail treatments. Aside from these, it is expected that luxury items will take off in the future. Following the popularity of small dog breeds, many pet owners are showering their four-legged pals with expensive luxury pet clothes and shoes. They would even buy an expensive tote bag so that they could carry their small pets in style.

For food, pet owners are expected to be more choosy of the products that that they buy. After the massive recalls imposed by some companies on pet foods due to contamination, pet owners will now learn to read labels carefully and will be choosing products that are labeled organic or natural even though these are a bit pricier.

So are these indications of better future for pets? For Jordan Walker, pet enclosure designer at Coops And Cages, this could be the start of better pet conditions for some pets, but admits that there is still more work that needs to be done. He was quoted saying. "When one pet is made happier because its owner has given it all the best that his money could buy, then that is great to hear. But you see, there are also pets out there that are not receiving any form of privileges.These are the abandoned ones in shelters, others on the other hand are stray. I would really love to see the day that everybody, individuals and pet industry businesses and organizations, would be able to find a way to greatly reduce this problem through sponsorship and educational programs."

Coops and Cages aim to increase charitable efforts to help more pets all over Australia, mainly through donations in the form of money, legacy, gift cards, and more.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/22/2014 -- Unwanted animals are easily discarded, left on the streets to starve and die, but Coops and Cages is now trying to protect them through charitable programs. They are not only protecting pets using their pet houses, cages, and coops, but are also making concrete steps towards looking after the welfare of pets.

Coops and Cages have seen just how animals that cannot be placed in homes are later killed to make room for other animals in some shelters. Putting animals to death seemed to be a solution when the animals have slowed down with age, suffering from a medical condition, or have become disabled. These are the main focus of the online store today, as they have witnessed the urgency in searching for the right homes and warm hearts to welcome what were otherwise unwanted pets. They wanted to be among the generous, kind and sympathetic members of the community that support the financial needs in raising abandoned dogs, cats, and other pets.

There are thousands of cats and dogs that are relying on donations and other charitable programs initiated by companies like Coops and Cages. The online store is looking forward to making an impact in the lives of these poor animals. Their donations will surely be directed towards buying milk for abandoned kittens, vaccines for puppies and kittens, medical care for dogs and cats, food, shelter, and daily care. They know that their money will help rescue critically injured animals that need surgical and medical support.

Coops and Cages is planning on how they can reinforce the resources needed to support abandoned pets in shelters. They could donate online, give a kennel or cage, support the rehabilitation and other needs of a wild animal, start an annual campaign, leave a legacy to PAWS, buy wish list items, host a fundraising event, or even play games that support PAWS. These are only some of the methods that the online store is considering to help the dogs and cats that need their help.

According to Jordan Walker, a pet lover and supporter at Coops and Cages, "The company is in a hurry to launch its charitable campaigns to prevent more innocent killings among pets that are deemed useless or are dying. Since we cannot personally adopt a dog or cat in our headquarters, we want to make sure that we can contribute to keeping them warm, happy, and healthy in their shelters, for as long as they remain there. We want to make a difference in the world and helping those who are helpless in the animal community is a huge step towards that goal."

Pet enclosure retailer Coops And Cages says that the different events held and still expected to come reflect how people are evolving for the betterment of pets.

Carlton, Victoria -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/12/2014 -- The end of September will also mark the start of the last quarter of 2014. Another year will soon begin after that. But this year so far is considered one of the best years for pets as seen through how these have been put on centerstage recently. Pets were featured in charitable works and in business conferences. This only indicates that people are now friendlier to domesticated animal companions than they were in the past. Amidst the events that have taken place, Australian company, Coops and Cages, only has full support for these.

Precious Pets Almost Home, a nonprofit organisation whose mission is to prevent cruelty to animals, is particularly concerned in helping cats and dogs through their adoption programs. Through its efforts, several adoption events were conducted in its home, Chicago, Illinois. The organisation's Summer 2014 Adoption Events started off with the Adoption Event at Logan Pet's grooming in Milwaukee on June 21st. This was later followed by the same type of event hosted in Ohio at Kriser's Streeterville on July 12th. Other adoption events followed suit in other locations such as Elston and Delano Court.

Meanwhile the pet industry sector is expected to introduce more sustainable and pet-friendly products. The American Pet Products Association (APPA) and Pet Industry Distributors Association (PIDA) have teamed up to present the upcoming 2015 Global Pet Expo. It is expected that different pet products buyers and sellers from all over the globe will be gracing this event, which will be held at Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida from March 4-6, 2015. This is where new inventions and innovations are presented by businesses that provide pet products. It can be recalled that the same event conducted this March showed record-breaking attendance.

If some businesses are still trying to find their footing in this industry, some on the other hand have already found a stable niche that allows them to be invited in different social functions. One of these is MamaManchini's, a manufacturer of all-organic pet foods. This company is expected to be a presenter at the SeeThruEquity Fall Microcap Investor in New York on September 11 and at the 132nd National Investment Banking Association in the same city, which be held on September 15-17, 2014.

For Jordan Walker, marketing director at Coops And Cages, this is symbolic of how man is changing day by day. When asked further to elaborate on this, he replied with "Human nature is usually self-centered. People tend to think more of what they need before that of others. For me, these conferences mean that man is now ready to open up his views to also include the well-being of animal companions. Better products, adoptive efforts, and the use of organic produce in pet products- aren't these representations of how man is becoming more and more dedicated in bringing about a better life for their pets?"

The pet industry continues to have a promising future, and pets may have more to gain with new amazing products expected to be offered in the market in coming years.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/29/2014 -- It seems that there is now a trend called "pet invasion" in most households. In Australia alone, there were 8 million recorded pet owners in the country by 2012, 4.2 million of which have dogs, 3.3 million owned cats, while the rest have other pet breeds. In the US, the 2012 American Pet Products Association (APPA) Survey revealed that 68% have pets in their homes. Pet ownership is being tied to adults deciding to stay single and buy domestic animals for companionship or married couples delaying plans of having a baby.

With all of these statistics, those expected to have the best gains are pet service and products providers. In the past, pet food manufacturers may have suffered from a bad reputation amidst the product recalls due to contamination. Nevertheless, pet owners will always be on the lookout for better food products for their pets. And with their dedication to providing the best products that money could buy for their furry pals, this may pave way for the rise of gourmet food for pets.

It is also noteworthy to mention that past and present research on pets say that these are beneficial to a person's emotional and physical well-being. This is why many hospitals and clinics are now welcoming pets such as dogs for patient therapy. Although the number of pet ownership is now considered very high, this is still expected to see greater growth several years from now. But instead of families, it is predicted that people who will be more inclined to buy pets are the aged and the singles, and they will be doing this both for health and companionship reasons.

Furthermore, some on the other hand claim that pets will be able to have a better quality of life due to people now more aware of what could make their pets healthier and happier. With these predictions, the Australian pet enclosure company Coops And Cages, says that this it now one of the best times for pets like rabbits to live. Jordan Walker, the lead writer for Coops And Cages, further said, "Where have you seen a rabbit perform tricks in a show just like sporting dogs? Or have dogs have their own luxury beds, designer clothes and meals fit for a king? But I must admit that this may be even better in the future. For example, pet foods offered in the market could be geared toward the use of organic produce or healthcare will then be specialised like what is being offered to us humans now."

Coops And Cages, a pet housing provider, says that they are expecting to have good sales despite changing market trends in the pet industry by offering great products.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/21/2014 -- The pet industry has proved to be one of the most powerful income-generating business sector to be in. This has repeatedly recorded remarkable performances in the past twenty years. But while this may be so, there are significant changes in the buying activities of people, including some trend predictions that pet industry business owners should take into consideration. In line with these said changes, the marketing team of Coops And Cages, one of Australia's pet enclosure providers, says that they have seen this coming and that their smart products should be able to keep their sales up as always.

So what has changed in the past decade? Today, more and more people are joining the bandwagon of other people who are into green living. They eat organic produce, engage in recycling, choose to use energy efficient appliances, and for those in business, make their products safer for the earth. But people are not the only ones who are being caught up on this trend. They too are also including their pets in their green lifestyle. Just like they would only purchase earth-friendly products for themselves, they make sure that the items used by their pets are safe for the environment too.

As for future pet industry trend changes, it is expected that this will continue to see significant growth. Furthermore, predictions say that there will be a lot of acquisitions, several new products will be created, and partnerships within the pet industry sector will be created. Although the overall predictions for the pet industry looks very promising, this may not reflect the future gains of smaller business entities. The well-funded companies are the ones who may be able to benefit greatly from the mentioned predictions. It will be tougher to compete with companies who can afford to have excess funds to promote their products and services.

With all of these changes, Jordan Walker, chicken coops quality inspector at Coops And Cages, says that people in their company are unperturbed. When asked why, he said this. "Small companies do things differently compared to the mammoths. While bigger companies would invest in intensive marketing, here at Coops And Cages, we invest in the quality of our products. So far, when there are changes in market trends, the quality and sustainability of our products make our customers come back for more. And through these customers, we even get to gain new customers because of word-of-mouth advertising. For us, offering smart products will keep you afloat through changing trends."

Coops and Cages, one of Australia’s leading manufacturers and sellers of pet enclosures, announce their plans to expand their company. Soon, their high quality products will be reaching more pet loving homes.

Carlton, VIC -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/18/2014 -- Animals have always been a huge part of people's lives. They help with daily livelihood, sustenance, and even emotional healing. The joy of keeping pets at home is priceless. By having animals within the premises, homeowners become closer to Mother Nature.

Australia is a place where the elements can be harsh to both humans and animals. If a pet owner plans to place pets in the backyard for a while, then suitable enclosures should be acquired. The right outdoor pet enclosures allow pets to have a sense of security. They are protected from the cold winds in Australia. Pets are kept warm from cold days, storms, or rainy days. Sturdy enclosures make pets live healthier, longer. High quality outdoor pet enclosures also help in training pets while providing privacy for them.

Since Coops and Cages has proven that they can deliver top-notch pet enclosures, more consumers are demanding for more products and services. The company's expansion will result to more products, more services, and more job opportunities. With this, Coops and Cages thanks their loyal clientele for the confidence they have in the company.

The expansion of the improved Coops and Cages will begin this year. When Coops and Cages first opened to pet owners, the company was able to gather designers who had feedback from pet owners. With the information they obtained, Coops and Cages was able to come up with appealing and durable products that are easy to ship and are very affordable. The company has a dependable and hardworking web team that ensures the availability of products in demand. Coops and Cages aims to continue pushing the boundaries around the pet enclosure industry. It has always been the company's aim to be Australia's largest supplier of pet houses. Their expansion will result in more deliveries and more designs for pet enclosures.

Specialization in a single pet product area takes special knowledge. Coops and Cages assures their clients that they know their products very well because pet enclosures or pet houses are the only products they make. Expertise in a single product is needed to maintain the highest quality. This is what Coops and Cages carries on with this principle during its expansion. Their clients and potential buyers are always sure to have their questions answered.

Coops and Cages ensure their loyal clients get their products in the shortest possible time, delivered at their door. The company's expansion will never make the deliveries late. In fact, the company plans to use more Australian couriers to get the products delivered safely and quickly. Because of the Coops and Cages' expansion, there will be more positions to be filled, so that more demands for pet housing products can be met. Jordan Walker, one of the top administrators, quotes, "Our Company's expansion will help more pet owners provide more comfort and care for their beloved pets. They can also be confident in the fact that our products will be more exciting, more attractive, and more suitable for both their homes and animal companions."

Many of Coops and Cages clients are already excited with the planned expansion. They believe that this endeavor will bring out more possibilities in pet housing. As the company's product demands grow, the quality is maintained, if not, made better. As the company expands, more partnerships are made and more customers are gained. More jobs are created as well, enabling more people to contribute to the company's progress.

Coops and Cages used to be an exclusive company for chicken enclosures. The company saw the need to cater to the housing needs of other animals as the years progressed. Their expansion will provide more options for pet housing, broadening the choices of pet owners in Australia.
