What kind of companies drive the pet care industry

Pets today are more than companions—they are part of the family. And caring for them is big business. The global pet care industry could exceed $350 billion by 2027. Domestically, it has grown steadily every year since 2001, even during the Great Recession. The companies driving this extraordinary growth typically fall into one of several broad categories: pet health, pet supplies and stores, or pet food. Who are some of these companies and what kind of services do they provide? Let’s take a look.
