In 2011, it is estimated that we will spend over $50 billion on pets in the US.
The largest expenditure is on pet food.
19.5 billion on pet food
14 billion on veterinary care
11.4 billion on supplies and over the counter meds
3.65 billion on other services
2.15 billion on live animal purchases
Overall, spending on pets is increasing 5-6% a year. The percent increase in vet care is higher than average, at 8.5%. This is good news as vet care helps pets live longer, healthier lives. Your holistic vet can help you with nutrition, vaccine advice, homeopathy, and herbs.
