“As the economy improves, so should all things pet, but that recovery continues to appear modest,” said David Lummis, senior pet market analyst for Packaged Facts, in January. “Spending on supplements will increase, but ‘restraint’ will likely continue to characterize how pet owners shop and what they buy during 2011 and even 2012.”
