on their pets this year from food and toys, kennels, grooming, training to veterinary
services. Canadians spend more on their pets than they do on toys and candy combined.
There is no region in Canada that hasn't experienced an increased level of
demand for pet products and services.

Americans to spend $38.4 billion in 2010, up 100% from ten years ago. This trend
shows absolutely no indication of slowing down. In fact, the business and f nancial
community believes the pet industry will grow at an average rate of between 6 and 8%
annually. The bottom line is clear. The growth of the pet industry is not just a "trend".

catering to our beloved animals.

industries, getting into the pet business makes sense for those with a passion for
animal welfare and a strong desire to make a difference each day. As consumer's
