Cannabis Therapy Corp Extends Strategic Plan Into Cannabinoid Products for Animal Health
ACCESSWIRE - Thu Aug 14, 11:48AM CDT
Whitefish, MT / August 14, 2014 / From spending on cardiology to oncology to specialty foods, people love their pets and religiously earmark income for requisite and discretionary spending on their furry friends. This is evident through industry expert American Pet Products stating overall expenditures in the pet industry climbed from $43.2 billion in 2008 to $55.72 billion in 2013. Not even the 2009-2013 Great Recession caused consumers to hit the brakes hard on allocating cash for their pets. The largest chunk of the overall spending went to food ($22.6 billion), followed by the veterinary care category ($15.3 billion) and then supplies/Over-the-Counter medicine ($13.7 billion). As noted by Embrace Pet Insurance, the supplies/OTC meds category remains robust, with their analysts estimating that growth in this sector outpaced the 6.7% expansion forecast by American Pet Products in 2013.
