○ For example, the Jingfeng Center in Jiangning District has set up a Pet Satisfaction Center, which not only has supplies such as pet strollers, pet drinking water, disposable pee pads, poop removal bags, leashes, and deodorizers, but also puts together a catering version of the Pet Friendly Map, which hints at which stores you can take your furry child shopping and eating at with you.
Since 2023, Uyue Plaza in Jianye District has launched a "pet-friendly" service, and through monthly pet-themed activities, it has successfully attracted pampered residents from the surrounding community to participate, bringing more customer traffic and consumption potential to the mall.
With the opening of the new scene of pets, "it economy" has become a traffic code, in Nanjing, also with the industry actively "claw".
