Pet health, particularly the pet vitamin industry, may end up being one of the few industries lucky enough to be recession-proof or at least recession-resistant thanks to a growing number of pet owners who have seen the benefit of providing their pets with pet vitamins. Companies that make pet vitamins, such as Pet Bounce Vitamin have been able to withstand the recessionary trends of the last few years because of this phenomenon.
The pet health industry in general is a growing segment of the economy, exceeding GDP growth in the last two years. Pet owners are driving the demand for higher quality food and pet vitamins to ensure the best possible quality of life for their pets. As the population continues to age and pets become an even larger source of companionship, the pet health industry is predicted to continue growing.
Pet vitamins offer pet owners the ability to ensure that their pets, regardless of what they eat for their regular daily diet, receive the dietary support necessary to maintain everything from strong teeth and bones to shiny, dandruff-free coats.
Some of the most popular vitamins for pets are similar to ones promoted for humans, such as Vitamins A and E, which offer the same healthy heart protection to animals that it does humans but also improves the look and feel of the animal's coat. Also popular with pet owners are fiber supplements for pet health. Fiber not only offers pets many of the same healthy benefits as humans but also provides cats better hairball management. Omega-3 vitamins offer cats and dogs healthy skin and fur protection.
High quality pet vitamins and supplements are part of a growing pet health industry that is set to exceed $50 billion per year by 2015, driven mainly by consumers who place a high priority on the quality of life of their pets. Many pet owners are older, and as the aging population continues to increase, the pet health industry is likely to continue its rapid growth.
