Behind the chaos in the pet funeral industry, there are both a lack of industry supervision and a lack of consumer awareness. The following is an analysis of the main reasons:
1.Regulatory gap:At present, no special pet funeral industry norms have been issued in China, resulting in some institutions taking advantage of legal loopholes and acting recklessly.
2.Low entry threshold:The technical threshold of the pet funeral industry is low, and some institutions lack professional qualifications and equipment, making service quality difficult to guarantee.
3.Information asymmetry:Consumers have limited understanding of pet funeral processes and standards, and are easily misled by bad merchants.
4.Emotional Kidnapping:Some businesses take advantage of the emotional needs of pet owners to raise prices or provide false services.
3. How can consumers avoid pitfalls?
Faced with the chaos in the pet funeral industry, consumers should be vigilant and choose formal institutions. Here are a few suggestions:
1.Check the qualifications:Choose a pet funeral institution with a business license and related qualifications to avoid choosing a "three-no" business.
2.Field visit:Visit the agency in advance to understand cremation equipment and service procedures, and ensure transparency and credibility.
3.Signing a contract:Clarify the service content and fees, avoid verbal commitments, and retain relevant vouchers.
4.Multiple comparisons:Understand the reputation of institutions through reputation, evaluation and other channels, and avoid impulsive consumption.
4. Future prospects of the industry
Although there are many problems in the pet funeral industry at present, with the improvement of market supervision and the improvement of consumer awareness, the industry is expected to gradually standardize. In the future, pet funeral services will pay more attention to humanization and environmental protection, becoming an indispensable part of the pet economy.
