The pet industry is currently estimated at just under $100 billion. Yes, one-tenth of a trillion...and growing. And the majority of all pet parents (more than 35%) are Millennials, who have a projected income of $3.5 trillion in 2020. Millennials are the only demographic trending upward in terms of both income and pet spending, while Boomers are trending down. In 2020 alone, they will spend more than $1,750 on dog-related goods and services.
