Kim;

I agree there is a market for your work; we do much the same type of pet photography, although I am learning the more formal portrait pet photography. Nevertheless, I do agree with others that the market may be difficult to make a living but certainly large enough to cover your entry fees and some equipment.

The life of a professional photographer is very difficult. Like physicians, most of us are very specialized, mostly because we sell to a segment of the market. Most of my sales are to magazines and books. I want to do some pet photography to make a few extra dimes and also to spend time with the animals. I am a wildlife photographer, I do not plan to become a full time pet photographer but I believe I can do a quality job (once I complete my personal practice sessions) and add a few extra dollars to my income gross.
