And buying these pet products has become easier than ever. In addition to the regular supermarkets that stock pet products and the special pet stores, there are Internet sites that not only sell high quality pet products but also deliver them to your door step. With time being a precious commodity for working people, these websites are a blessing in disguise.
A fair amount of the marketing for such websites is accomplished by word of mouth. One person or a family uses a certain product and then recommends it to their friends, and so on. Companies also often take a more proactive approach to increasing awareness of their products among pet owners. This is achieved by having distributors who inform pet owners of their products and also give them samples to try.
The Humane Society of the United States reports that the average dog owner spends about $219 annually on veterinary visits, while cat owners spend about $175 per year. These statistics show quite clearly that pet owners are very willing to spend on their pets. Companies like PetSmart have reportedly seen an increase of $4.23 billion in their annual sales in the last year. Part of this increase has been attributed to the opening of numerous new stores.
So it seems that keeping pets at home while working is not really such a worrisome thing — as long as there are companies like PetSmart that provide quality pet-care services.
