The Pet Industry and Dog-Related Careers

It’s no secret that we love our pets. We pamper them with soft beds, interactive toys, and special diets. We take them on vacation with us or board them at kennels with spa facilities. We give them gifts at holidays such as Hanukkah; we hang stockings filled with organic treats for them at Christmas. We refer to our pets as our “kids.” Even when the economy goes south, we readily spend money on caring for our companion animals. It’s no wonder that a thriving pet industry has sprung up to cater to animals and their people. And that thriving industry offers plenty of employment opportunities.
