K-beauty, K-drama, K-pop, K-fashion? We've all heard of, or even avidly patronized, these Korean industries. But did you know that their “petconomy” is thriving? This is because the number of pet owners in the country who have their own “pet farms” (families with pets) is increasing.
From the screen to the spa: Dogs in the spotlight
There are several Korean dramas where dogs steal the spotlight. Pororo from “Irresistible Love'' distracts actor Kim Woo Bin from his role, and a shaggy dog from “Coffee Prince'' befriends the lead actress. In Behind Your Touch, a psychic veterinarian meets cute animals. And of course, A Good Day to Be a Dog features handsome Cha Eun-woo, who owns a dog as a love interest, but she's actually a woman.
The rise of the pet economy in South Korea
According to a report by Statista, there will be 22,000 pet-related facilities in South Korea in 2022, and this number continues to increase. And he says that in 2023, the costs associated with pet care have skyrocketed. I can relate! We all cherish our beloved pets and give them lots of love. It's okay to indulge. This is the exact sentiment of Jan Buenaflor and her D'Spinmix Company Inc., where she serves as Managing Director and Vice President of Marketing and Operations. The business carries all products from Korean brands Breezy Tail and Olaolab.
Luxury spa products for your pampered dog
D'Spin Mix has four types of shampoo and body wash for dogs that have whitening effects as well as ones for white dogs. PetO'CERA Body Wash Plus provides a hypoallergenic skin barrier. Contains hyaluronic acid to treat itching, dandruff, and dead skin. Another product is PetO'CERA Body Wash Nourishing, which improves skin barrier hydration by 76% in just one use. These products are made with his unique patented PetO'CERA skin care formula.
Jean claims that these products are safe for humans as well. “Actually, I also use the shampoo and mist. They are very safe as they contain PetO'CERA's patented technology PSF, which contains three types of ceramides and three types of hyaluronic acid.”
To give your pet even more pampering, we also offer premium spa products for dogs. Mineral bath salts to remove dead skin cells and rose salt baths to moisturize and soothe are great products. Marine salt baths are intended for “trouble care” and I interpret them to have a calming effect. I can just imagine my beloved Chihuahua relaxing and just relaxing in a bath of these mineral salts.
According to Jean, who is a dog lover herself, “I have five furbabies, and they use all of our products.'' “They were the first to try it. They were happy and I was very happy with how soft and moist their skin and coats were. And most importantly, they were very nice. It means it smells!”
“Relationships with our dogs are good for our hearts and souls,” she continues, “They are loyal, make us laugh, and listen to us without judgment.” Dog parents spoil their dogs because… happy dogs lead to happy fur parents!”
D' Spinmix recently held a successful pop-up in Quezon City called “Pup-up: A Good Day to be with Your Dog.” As many as 30 dogs and their fur parents participated. Plans for the near future include expanding sales nationwide.
“We plan to open stores in supermarkets, pet shops, and specialty stores. We also plan to release pet treats in the near future (including collaborations with famous restaurants, so keep an eye out!). All products are made and manufactured in Korea. We have two or three.'' Three more products in our premium spa range will be coming in April or May. ”
Jang is an avid K-drama and K-pop fan (she's an EXO-L, and if you're a fan, you know what this means). So I asked her if she had a favorite K-drama dog. She jokingly replied that the dog in Cha Eun Woo's drama kisses the handsome star.
But seriously, our pets are worth pampering. They deserve our unconditional love and loyalty. they are family. Now is the time for your dog to enjoy life to the fullest. Because it's a good day for dogs.
