People are tightening their belts, yet, the figures for the PET industry are steadily increasing. AP writer Ashley Heher says in his article, the PET industryRecession-resistant? "Companies that sell everything from organic dog biscuits to inspired pet toys say business is booming even as economic indicators show purchasers are pinching pennies for one of the worst recessions in decades."

It seems that the number actually bear the unexpected idea that the PET market is actually a recession-resistant.

More than half of food sales are from pet food, the market research company, Euro-monitor International, also expects a the sales growth of 13% by 2013.

To some extent, the strength of the industry makes sense, because 63% of households in a nation of 71 million households have at least one pet. Only five years ago, that number was 64 million, so there is a substantial increase in itsnumber of American pet owners, which will have a positive effect on the PET industry.

And even if this particular consumer sounds exceptional, there are many just like her.

And that means they're willing to sacrifice themselves before cutting priveledges for their pets. "
