Facts that may surprise you:

• Nearly 60% of all U.S. households include at least one pet. in fact, pets are the fastest growing segment of the population in the entire United States. There are 72 million pet cats and 67 million pet dogs in America, along with countless birds, fish and other small animals.

• Americans now spend $41 billion a year on their pets-more than the gross domestic product of all but 64 countries in the world. That's double the amount shelled out on pets a decade ago, with annual spending expected to hit $52 billion in the next two years, according to Packaged Facts, a consumer research company based in Rockville, Md.

• Specialty pet foods are a significant and growing portion of that market, and 43% of those customers buying specialty foods are purchasing them at specialty pet retail stores like PET DEPOT®.

Based on its National Pet Owners Survey, the APPMA estimates the average dog owner annually spends: $241 on pet food, $107 on grooming, $123 on vitamins, $68 on treats and $45 on toys. Cat owners spend an estimated $185 on pet food, $24 on grooming, $32 on vitamins, $43 on treats and $29 on toys.

• Pet food is an evergreen industry, offering stability and customer loyalty to the specialty petfood retailer. Year in and year out, customers typically return every 2-6 weeks to purchase more of their pets’ favorite brands.
