For as long as I remembered, when I was a kid, we were always catching little chicks from the village and keep as pets. Later, I had tortoise, a white parrot, a myna , some other birds kept by my late dad, angel fish etc. All these cramped in a tiny 1 room flat !
Fast forward 5 decades later, we are seeing a resurgence of furry pets entering into modern human lives more and more. From Korea to China to Jarkarta, we see a growing trend of young couples getting married but not wanting to have kids. Instead, they opt for pets and this can range from furry ones like bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and dogs to exotic ones like reptiles and some even keep ants. Times have changed.......
These furry kids are now replacing human kids and I am of the opinion it will proliferate more and more as we witness the emergence of pet friendly cafes, parks for dogs, accessories sold online and in pet shops. The downside we are also seeing is abandonment by some of these paw parents who could not handle the stress of upkeeping these pets .
Before, it was all canned food but now they are going for fresh foods even curated by some chefs. Wouldn't you want to be reincarnated as a cute doggie in your next life ?
I first spotted this company in late 2024 and nibbled some shares.
Fast forward 6-7 months later, I am so lucky to be blessed with more than 200% returns on my investment. Mind you , this is not even a tech companies with AI patents .........
Read this latest article here and you would be convinced how deep the penetration these pets have on human. Of course, the more they spend , the higher prices these companies will be.
What's next ?

Note
If you read this article above, you can see that this is a sad but realistic trend happening in China. The reluctance to give birth due to high costs of raising a kid has prompt the government to come up with more targeted measures to help the families. So here comes free preschool education. Paternity leave, maternity leave, bonus for 2nd or 3rd child, work/life balance, etc - the government is not resting on its laurels. The dwindling population plus an ageing society is putting strains on its productivity. Many 2nd to 4th tier cities factories still relies heavily on human labour to raise productivity and with each year lesser babies born, what will happen to the country in 5-10 years time ? In the meantime, stress is a constant and humans need connection and spirited animals like dogs and cats come into play. Therefore, I think the pets penetration rates in China will only deepen (sadly the consequences is also more abandonment) and having a pet dog is like having a new member in the family. Note
