Rome's Fiumicino Airport has opened a dog hotel offering luxurious and convenient services for travelers' pets, including rooms, grooming, and daycare, with high occupancy rates and new regulations allowing large dogs to fly in cabins domestically.
Walmart is piloting a pet services center in Dallas, Georgia, offering veterinary care and grooming services, as it aims to tap into the lucrative pet industry. The center will be staffed by employees from pet care company PetIQ and will have its own dedicated entrance next to a Walmart store. Walmart plans to open more pet services centers in the future, capitalizing on the growing demand for pet health care and services. The move comes as retailers like Chewy and Petco also expand into the veterinary care space. Walmart's pet center will offer a range of services, including wellness exams, grooming, and vaccinations, while also providing retail space for its private label pet brands.
