According to the "Vancouver Sun" on June 16, Japan is one of the countries with the lowest birth rate and the longest life expectancy in the world, and the phenomenon of population aging is very serious. And now Japan's pet population is beginning to age. With more and more cats and dogs becoming senior pets, senior pet care has become one of the most emerging industries in Japan. According to the latest data from the Japan Pet Food Association, there are now as many as 2.2 million pet cats and dogs in Japan, 30% more than the number of children under the age of 15 in Japan. The huge pet group has driven the popularity of the pet service market. Currently, there is a strong demand for products and services such as animal diapers, walkers, and 24-hour emergency pet medical services. According to statistics from the Yano Economic Research Institute, a Tokyo-based research and consulting agency, the current annual retail sales of pets and pet supplies in Japan is as high as 1.37 trillion yen (about 109.7 billion yuan).
　　Due to healthy pet food, scientific feeding methods, and complete veterinary services, Japanese pets are living longer and longer. How to take care of elderly pets has become the most worrying problem for many pet owners. Now, institutions have emerged to take care of elderly pets and provide them with old age. Yamahisa in Osaka is a company specializing in the care of elderly dogs. The company provides carts, diapers, and leashes for bedridden elderly dogs. There are special people to roll them over to prevent bedsores, and there are machines to help elderly dogs who have lost the ability to walk. Stand up again, and veterinarians regularly check the old dog's body through advanced methods such as X-rays, CT, and MRI.
　　Yamahisa's marketing manager revealed: "As pets are treated as family members, the demand for pet supplies will continue to increase. In the next 20 years, there will be a huge market prospect for caring for elderly pets. ”
