The special bond between pet and owner is recorded throughout history. Today, that unique relationship is evident in the economy. The amount of money spent on merchandise for pet companions is estimated to be 47% in 2010; an estimated 63 million U.S. households own a pet. This is big business for the pet care industry as they adapted to the growing interest and needs of pet owners, even for other industries reaching out to capture new clients with pet friendly hotels and automobile insurance policy expanding coverage to pets are an example.
For many individuals, Pets are family too, and the benefits of pet families are a win-win situation as the pet receives love and care, in return the owner receives overall better health in comparison to those living alone without pets. Owners even have lower blood pressure, less doctor visits, and stress levels are reduced; pets even help prevent heart disease and alleviate depression.
Without a doubt the family relationship formed with a pet is special transcending all culture and time, and worth celebrating.
