High-end pet items drive increase in spending. People like to buy organic dog food, timed cat food dispenses etc
"People are cutting back on themselves more than they're cutting back on pets," says Bob Vetere, president of the American Pet Products Association.
"Cheap pet food is selling briskly, reflecting the weak economy, at the same time costly items are thriving," he says. "It's the middle of the market that's shrinking," he says.

How to feed your dog a raw meat diet
In a raw food dog diet, food is fed in its natural state, allowing it to provide the correct nutrients your dog needs.
It can be (if done right) a great diet for growing dogs (puppies) and dogs that need to maintain good health (adult dogs, pregnant dogs, older dogs, dogs with diseases.) When fed in proper portions, raw food will give your dog the best diet it could possibly have. This means it will be healthier forlonger.
A raw dog food diet which contains the proper nutrients for your dog should be comprised of raw meats, raw meaty bones, vegetables, and fruit. Raw meats provide protein, which is important for a dog’s health and immune system. Raw meaty bones, on the other hand, provide calcium and phosphorous, which growing dogs need to help their bones develop and pregnant dogs need in order to help their developing pups build strong bones.
The raw dog food diet provides your dog with all the vitamins and minerals it needs at each stage of life. In fact, when fed in the right proportions, you won’t need to give your dogs vitaminsupplements.
But how do you determine how much of each type of food to feed your dog? How can you tell if your dog is indeed getting all the nutrients it needs? Are there signs that can confirm if your dog is thriving on a raw food diet? That’s the detailed information you’ll learn from Maggie Rhiner.
Maggie wrote a new book called “Going RAWR! Dog Lovers Compendium”. Find a complete list of the vitamins and minerals your dog needs, and learn how to spot deficiencies. This book also discusses the dog food pyramid, and tells you how much of each type of food to meet the various needs of growing and grown puppies, as well as big dogs and small dogs alike.
