It seems to be a good time to have a dog book coming out. According to the February 28, 2011 Fortune magazine pet spending is on the increase. As they say, let's take a look at the numbers:
--$47.7 billion That's the estimated total U. S. pet industry expenditures in 2010. That's up from $45.5 billion in 2009, which is up from $36.3 billion in 2005
--40% That's the percentage of U. S. households that own a dog. 62% of homes have at least one pet of some kind. Some things never change and that is one figure that has not changed in years
----22,000 That's the number of events sanctioned by the American Kennel Club in the U. S every year
And here's one more for the road: pet owners buy, on average of 9.3 tennis balls a year and, we hope, a great pet cookbook!!!
