From animal shelters, to spay/neuter clinics and voucher
programs, to rescue/adoption organizations, the animal
welfare industry is a close-knit circle of support agencies
serving a massive market - the Pet Loving Public. We
pamper them. We bring them wherever we go. We
surprise them with something new on special occasions.
They even get holiday presents. They are our pets!  
From high-end items to high-tech items, products for our
companion animals now extend beyond traditional
necessities.  

According to the American Pet Product Manufacturers
Association (APPMA)….

  •  63% of U.S. households own a pet, which equates
    to 69.1 millions homes
  •  45% of U.S. households own more than one pet
  •  In 1988, the first year the survey was conducted,
    56% of U.S. households owned a pet as compared
    to the 63%   of present day
