How Much Are We Spending on Our Pets?
Well it is no surprise that Americans over spend on their pets, but hey why not? I love pets but I was a little surprised on the amount.
According to Women's Health, Americans spending is up on the pets. 69 billion dollars was spent this year on our pets! They say things like dog massages, fitness classes and more are to blame.
I think here we are more spending it on vet bills ( barbed wire and random things found outdoors) training for hunting and dog sitting. Clothes is also a big spender, with our winters a lot of animals have coats here.
