subject: Pet Supplies Abounding All Over [print this page] The industry for pet supplies has expanded in an exponential manner to cater to the growing demand of pet lovers. The days of canned or dried pet food with a colored collar are no longer the norm. Cats have given up hunting for their food and have become domesticated. A mouse dancing on its head wouldnt even bring a twitch of interest.
These items are readily available in wholesale, retail as well as specialty pet stores. Other than giant bags of dried food and kitty litter stacked up to ceiling heights, there are vitamins and food supplements to ensure shiny and healthy fur coats. Since a good-looking pet complements a good-looking owner, a vast array of shampoos, conditioners and anti-flea products line the shelves to cater to all sorts of furry creatures needs. Accessories such as brushes, combs, ribbons and other decorative bits serve to give the final touch. For more ambitious owners who sometimes border on mania, cute outfits are available to make your animal stand up in the crowd.
Other than the usual collar and leash, perhaps your pet would like to travel in style. How about a basket to mount on your bike or even a stroller for walks in the park? Carriers of all sizes, shapes and designs are made to suit every pets need and occasion. Perhaps the need to create chew toys is going slightly overboard as most pets seem to prefer the master or lady of the houses best pair of shoes.
Since the demand for exotic pets have picked up, pet supplies for these genus of animals are easily found. Houses for small rodents resemble doll houses of the past. Perhaps Barbie and Ken should open up their split level to some chipmunk boarders. The human need to produce reality shows on work-outs and weight shedding may have stemmed from childhood memories of watching their pets run on exercise wheels.
What shoppers put into their carts at pet stores serve to give some indication on how they treat their pets. As man takes better care of himself, we come to the realization that we also want our pets to enjoy longer and healthier lives.
