PETS

We live in a society where pets are more popular than they have ever been. The number of dogs and cats owned has doubled in the last years. In fact, more than 57 percent of American households now have at least one pet of some sort.The money spent for supplies, toys, food, and care for these pets currently totals more that 4 bilion dollars a year. Of that amount, 200 milion dollars is spent on grooming alone, and 400 milion dollars is spent on health care. If this  trend continues, the  amount of money spent on health care for animals will equal the amount spent on human health care in just ten years. Indeed, it seems that many people treat their pets just like members of the family.
