subject: Pet Supplies For Grooming, Feeding, And Play Time [print this page] The business of pet supplies is a growing enterprise that never seems to lack for new and innovative ideas. We buy many of the same things for our pets that we purchase for our children. We buy toys such balls, squeaky toys, sweaters, boots, treats, and vitamins. We also provide them with collars, leashes, brushes, combs, and even toothpaste and brushes. Where does it all end?
Pet supply stores offer thousands of products
The larger pet supply stores offer thousands of products for our pets. From food, vitamin supplements, shampoos, treats, grooming supplies, toys, and cages they provide what we want for our pets. It is a multi billion dollar industry world wide in both retail establishments as well as on the internet. Many of these pet supply stores allow pets to come along with their owners to shop for their favourite supplies. We indulge our companions because we love them and they devote themselves one hundred percent toward pleasing us (with the exception of cats perhaps).
A typical large pet supply store offers many thousands of items, with row after row laid out in a similar fashion to our department stores. Labels are bright, colourful and designed to grab our attention. The pets could care less because they are colour blind and cannot read so they must depend on us to make the choices. We are also the ones who make the purchase. Advertisements on television, in magazines, and on radio are also aimed at purchasing various items for our beloved pets.
The pet food and supply industry is a hugely profitable enterprise that also devotes large amounts of money and effort into making sure our pets diet is correct and properly fortified with vitamins, minerals, and supplements to keep them healthy throughout their lifetime.
Sweaters and boots
Every year, particularly in the fall, millions are spent on purchasing articles of clothing for our pet dogs and cats. Sweaters and boots, sunglasses, raincoats and blankets are the most common items sold, and they come in all sizes to fit every dog or cat.
Pet beds may be heated, elevated, washable, and come in a wide variety of fabrics and colours. Cat condos or cat trees allow your felines to get away for a private catnap in a bed up high, and climb their way while sharpening their claws. Even the bird cages are designed to match your home's decor and give your pet bird a luxury home.
Pet toys are probably the most popular of all pet supplies and they come in a wide variety of types and uses. Balls, rubber rings, chew toys, and rubber mice provide plenty of bells and whistles to keep your pets amused and occupied.
Work and training devices
Those who provide their pet dog with training and education may choose from various collars, leashes, and obedience training devices. Brushes and combs come in a wide variety of styles and types for both dogs and cats. Birds can be provided with birdbaths in their cages. Fish have castles and sunken ships to swim around in their aquariums or fish bowls. We love our pets and can usually find whatever it is we want to give them a happy life.
