And what’s more, pet owners are increasingly looking to give their furry friends the very best. Poshmark saw an opportunity for an expanding marketplace and jumped on it.

In this article, we look at the implications of making your Poshmark closet more pet-friendly, and we answer the question: is it worth it to dive into the world of pet accessory reselling?

Poshmark for Pets

Pet Owners Like to Pamper Their Furry Friends

It’s not just about providing the basics; pet owners tend to go all out to ensure that their cat or dog has the very best of everything. In fact, according to a few different studies, pet owners are apt to spend more on their pets than they are on themselves at times. From cute little doggy coats to fashion-forward collars for cats, people are on the lookout for that unique and intriguing new accessory or item that will make their pet feel/look special.

And it goes beyond just collars and clothing. Toys, food dishes, even fish bowls, you name it, are all going to be up for sale on the Poshmark platform. For the savvy seller, sourcing these items and reselling them can be quite a lucrative opportunity. In fact, some poshers are even talking about moving almost exclusively to pet items should that Poshmark sector take off.

Diversification Never Hurts

Your Poshmark closet likely has a certain look/feel/vibe going. And that is terrific. But keep in mind, more and more sellers are coming to the platform every single day looking to become the next Poshmark superstar. This means that competition is getting fierce.
