Pet owners enjoy pampering their animals, leading to the rise of small businesses catering to this market. A recent Pet Party in San Jose featured vendors offering a range of products, from gourmet pet treats to custom merchandise. Vendor Nicole Weedo draws inspiration from nature and animals, while Christina Francisco shares a personal connection through a music album for her deceased dog. Other vendors, like Christine Pham, focus on healthy pet treats. Nicole Parra targets a niche market by creating art for less common pets, showcasing diverse offerings for pet lovers.
"Being outside in nature with my family members, as well as enjoying creatures and animals, like friends' pets and my own, has all come together to shape my heart, for sure."
"My husband actually wrote a whole album about our dog that just passed. He was getting old, so we wrote a whole album just for our dog."
"I think people do enjoy finding something that's healthier for your dog; that's always like a big thing here, because obviously we want our pets to live as long as possible."
"There's not a ton of merchandise for less common pets like reptiles and birds, so designing art and merchandise for them fills a unique niche."
