Despite the recession, it seems pet owners are not giving up on the welfare of their pets.
This even extends to their pet food, and in the UK, it has recently been announced that pet owners are showing an increased willingness to spend extra money on the best food for their dogs and cats in 2009.
The UK - Pet Lovers In 2008, it is estimated that around 1.
7bn pounds was spent on pet food for domestic animals in the UK, and it is easy to see why.
Even when times are hard and homeowners are struggling to keep their heads above water with the depressing economic gloom, their pets remain faithfully optimistic by their side.
Owners are pouring their love and affection into their pets and rewarding them by spending more on the finer things in life for them, which for most dogs simply means a tasty bowl of dog food.
The UK is a nation of pet lovers and this is exemplified by the increased spend on our pets.
Of course, most dogs and cats don't ask for much, and their dinner is probably the thing they most look forward to each day, which is why pets are so refreshing to have around when times are hard.
They adore their owners and ask for very little in return.

This all bodes well for the future of our pets and it is refreshing to see people are taking that little bit of extra care over their dogs and cats etc.
With sales of pet food in the UK rising considerably over recent months, there is a healthy pet food market out there which owners can trust in.
Big names are producing a wide variety of pet foods and making it easy for consumers to purchase these, with a broader use of sales avenues.
As the traditional UK pet shops dwindle on the high street, the online community is thriving and there are top brand names in the world of pet food offering their products for sale online, at really reasonable prices.
In fact, it is likely that the wider availability of pet foods online in the UK has led to this increase in spend from owners.
Buying online makes it easy to re-order and stocking up inevitably saves on postage, as it is a one-off charge.
There is a real sense of puppy love going on in the UK at the moment, and its not just dogs that are feeling the benefit of tastier, better pet food.
Cats and rabbits are too, as people are realising that their pets come first and spending on a good brand of pet food really is money well spent.
