Move over, cat cafés – China’s pet economy is leveling up with dog-exclusive restaurants 🐕 where furry friends dine like royalty while humans play waiter. From wagyu beef bowls to pup-friendly cakes, these spots are serving Instagrammable luxury for Gen-Z’s four-legged BFFs. 🌟
But it’s not just about fancy meals! Pet daycares now offer yoga sessions 🧘, spa treatments 🛁, and even ‘pawgress reports’ via TikTok-style videos. Young entrepreneurs are cashing in on a market projected to hit 300B yuan ($42B) in 2024 💸, turning pet care into a boundary-pushing mix of tech and tenderness.
