Americans are spending more on their pets than ever before, according to estimates in a new report.
The American Pet Products Association (APPA) says spending on pets in the US passed $50bn (£31.5bn) in 2011.
Food and veterinary costs accounted for about 65% of the
figure, but the category of "pet services" grew faster than any other,
totalling $3.79bn (£2.39bn) in 2011.
Pet services includes grooming, boarding, pet hotels, and pet-sitting.
