This may act as a deterrent for some people who might otherwise like to acquire pets and may restrict Japan's pet care industry's ability to expand. The problem of pet overpopulation and animal welfare presents another difficulty. Even though Japan has strict laws and regulations governing animal care, there are still many instances of animal abuse and neglect. Concerns have also been raised regarding the number of stray and abandoned animals in the nation. There is still a need for increased awareness and action to solve this issue, even though many animal shelters and rescue groups work hard to provide care and find homes for these creatures.

The use of technology in pet care is a trend in Japan. In Japan, there are several high-tech pet care products and services that monitor the health and behaviour of pets using cutting-edge sensors, tracking devices, and other technologies. Smart collars, for instance, are now available and can measure a pet's activity level, sleep schedule, and even location in real time.

One of the difficulties and dangers for investors to watch out for is online retailers. there is a list of key companies focused on pet health care like Virbac, Zoetis Inc., Satsuki animal clinic, etc.
