    .$ e/al Considerations

    op ! "ets #are $ #ounsellor #entre will be operated as a general "artnership #ompany

    with the advantage of their ability to grow with the addition of new talent and money. +t is

    easier to get loans from lending institutions that prefer to make loans to enterprises that

    are not dependent on single individuals. here will be less hassle as partnership can be

    organiBed by meeting only a few legal re(uirements. *ven so, all partnerships must begin

    12/66

    Among the disadvantages would be unlimited liability is the greatest drawback7 by law,

    each partner may be liable for all debts incurred in the name of the partnership. "otential

    lack of continuity is another disadvantage of partnership. +t is difficult to transferring

    ownership8 no partner may sell out the business share without the consent of the other

    partners.

    At the same time, the owners have received an affirmative answer from the Small

    :usiness =evelopment #entre of 2uching, Sarawak, for obtaining a business license for

    the company to operate in a residential neighbourhood, since noise, traffic, and pollution

    are not factors to be considered in this type of business.

    wo types of insurance will be needed for the company. All pets e(uipments and

    machineries will be insured for its full value. An additional umbrella policy for up to

    4/ million will be insured to cover liability. :enefits package such as disability, health,

    and life insurance for the full&time (ualified staffs will be added to the company.

    foods for overweight dogs and cats8 foods for different periods of a dog or cats life, of

    different siBes or breeds, or even lifestyles.

    he diet food segment shows un(uestionable potential and high growth rates. his

    situation is helped by the lengthening of cats and dogs' life e%pectations and a greater

    awareness by the veterinary class, which considers diet food as a natural complement to

    pharmaceutical treatments. he industry is seiBing this opportunity, developing specific

    diets for single clinical pathologies.

    +n the pet accessories sector, the trend towards diversification is even greater. he growth

    of this sector is due to two basic factors7 the development of high technology products

    such as advanced filters and pumps for tanks, retractable leashes, heated pet houses,

    ultrasonic flea collars, as well as the development of accessories that focus on the beauty,

    elegance and MpersonalityN of pets and that satisfy pet owner whims Ge.g., pet #hristmas

    innovative accessories are special lights and temperature devices that create different

    climatic areas inside the terrarium and enable simultaneous breeding of more than one

    breed.

    $.. !ar3et %ro)th

    A ma6or reason for this growth is that the role of the pet in alaysia and other countries

    in todays world has changed. "ets living in households have come to be considered as

    friends and as psychological necessities. his new role for pets may have several causes7

    a low birth&rate8 changes in family structure8 more single adults8 increase in the

    appreciation of animals8 and longer average life spans for senior citiBens, increasing the

    need for animal companionship. +mports play a ma6or role in this market, especially in

    the pet food sector. Among the leading imported brands are "edigree, Whiskas, "al, 2it *

    &.1 Com(etition and Buyin/ atterns

    here are few factors that affect the buying pattern or consumer behaviour8 namely

    cultural, social, personal and psychological.

    Cultural

    #ulture is the most basic cause of a persons wants and behaviour. +t is the set of values,

    perceptions, wants and behaviour learned by a member of society from family. his

    consumer behaviour or buying pattern is measured by occupation, income, education,

  • 8/9/2019 Pet Final Report

    27/66

    condition of their living environment. Hence the demand of pet accessories, beauty and

    health services are very high.

    he buying pattern also influence the culture in which the #hinese believe that dogs will

    bring luck and loyal to their family whereas alay prefer cats.

    Social

    he social and environment now days will also influence the buying pattern of the

    customer. he social factors are come from the groups, family and also the roles and

    status. Some of the customer will consume all these lu%ury pet care and services not

    mainly because of the pets healthy, public safety and hygiene reason, but to show off

    their ability and status.

    However, op ! "ets #are and #ounsellor #entre believe that pet will play an important

    role for the social need, such as for the lonely and disabilities people. 2uching area have

  • 8/9/2019 Pet Final Report

    28/66

    affecting the buying pattern of customer. 2uching people now days are highly educated

    with a stable and well income. he value of keeping a pet is no more only a pet but also a

    member of their family, a responsibility as well as a companion.

    business. he main products and services at he Animal 2ingdom are retailing and

    wholesaling the pets food and accessories, pet grooming, boarding, pet selling and food

    delivering services. :ecause of the company wholesale the pets food and accessories, the
