Abstract—The study mainly focuses on the environmental quality of pet grooming shops in the Kaoping Area as it discusses the influence that the environmental quality of the shops has on consumers. The framework of the study is broken into two parts including a consumer questionnaire survey and instrument monitoring of indoor noise levels at the pet grooming stores. In the first part, a questionnaire survey was conducted in order to (1) understand the environmental quality of pet grooming stores in the Kaoping Area, and (2) investigate the influence that pet grooming store environmental quality has on consumer satisfaction in the Kaoping Area. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the questionnaire used for this study showed a high level of reliability at 0.78–095. In the validity analysis, the KMO spherical test value was 0.82–0.88. Twenty items in the survey addressed such things as the environmental quality of the pet grooming stores, satisfaction towards the pet grooming stores’ environmental quality. Satisfaction levels for these fell between 5 (somewhat agree) and 6 (agree), demonstrating that consumers are satisfied with the environmental quality of the pet grooming stores. In the second part, the indoor noise quality of pet the grooming shops was analyzed. The results of this show that on workdays, from Monday to Friday, morning noise levels are between 70–80 dB, and afternoon levels are between 80-98 dB. On weekends, from Saturday to Sunday, morning noise levels are between 73–79 dB, and afternoon levels are between 85–98 dB. There was no significant difference in the monitored values on weekends and workdays. Hopes are that the results of this study can serve as a contribution to pet grooming and related businesses or agriculture policy units of the government.
