Chinese Pet Boom.
Pet beautician school in Beijing A miniature poodle, coloured with yellow, pink and purple dye, rests after having its hair trimmed at a pet beautician school in Beijing January 13, 2006. Amid China's current pet boom, dog owners are flocking to such shops to pamper their pets with everything from shampooing to hair trimming, and nail care to hair-dye for the upcoming Lunar New Year festival beginning January 29, which will be the Year of the Dog.
