As Japan grapples with a rapidly ageing population, the country is set to open the first nursing home for another growing group of seniors -- dogs.The new business opening Friday will offer the same type of nursing services available to humans but also exercise and physical therapy tailored towards canine seniors.
The facility in Tochigi prefecture north of Tokyo can accept 20 dogs at a time for a monthly cost of about 100,000 yen (820 dollars) each.
Soladi Co. seeks to open a total of seven such nursing homes across Japan in the coming three years.
