According to an article on Forbes.com, the pet industry is the seventh largest retail industry in the U.S., more than jewelry, candy, toy and hardware. What's more, after consumer electronics, pet care is the fastest growing category in retailing, expanding about 6 percent a year.
And the rich and famous, with much more disposable income that I could ever imagine, are driving the growth of "upscale" services, like acupressure and pet massage, hydro-surge and oatmeal spa treatments, aromatherapy and animal psychiatrists.
Old joke: I'd take my dog to a psychiatrist, but he's not allowed on the couch.
Ba-dum-bump.
Be sure and check out the photograph link at the end of the article.
I should be so pampered.
