This sum included $64.4 billion allocated to pet food and treats, $32 billion for supplies, live animals, and over-the-counter medicine, $38.3 billion for veterinary care and related product sales, and $12.3 billion for other services such as boarding, grooming, and training. Consequently, the rising financial commitment to pet health is a primary impetus behind the expansion of the pet snacks and treats market.
