Bowling Green's Growing Market
Bowling Green is one of Kentucky's fastest-growing cities, fueled by the Corvette plant and a broader automotive manufacturing sector that has attracted suppliers and professionals from across the country. This growth has brought new residents with urban pet care expectations to a city that previously had a more informal approach to professional animal services.
Western Kentucky University creates the typical college-town dynamic of high pet ownership among faculty and staff, and the university's health sciences programs add medical professionals to the local market. The neighborhoods around WKU's campus and the newer developments in the city's eastern corridors have the most active professional walking markets.
