The business of pets

BBC World Service - World Business Report, The business of pets

We examine the pet industry that runs from pamper parlours to cutting edge vet theatres

We examine the pet industry that runs from pamper parlours to cutting edge vet theatres.

After two decades, the founders of Google are stepping down. Larry Page and Sergiy Brin will remain on parent company Alphabet's board of directors. We get reaction from Stuart Miles, founder of PocketLint. 

Also in the programme, Tomasz Michalski, associate professor of economics at HEC Business School in Paris, explains the thinking behind President Trump's suggestion he might delay a trade deal with China until after the election next year. 

And we examine the pet industry, from pamper parlours to cutting-edge vet surgeries. We speak to Mindy Montney, who runs pet store Dog and Co in Manhattan, Ineke Boyle, who runs South African dog hotel Must Love Dogs and Cynthia Chommos, who designs catios, or cat patio garden enclosures. And Karen Jones of the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals, a UK charity, tells us many pet owners don't realise how much their pets could cost them.
