## Intro

We love to spoil our pets. Even the word “pet” is said to be derived from an old Gaelic term *peata*, which was used to denote a [favorite child](https://www.etymonline.com/word/pet) before it was ever used to describe an animal kept in the house. People treat their pets like family. 

Nowhere is this more true than among millennials, [82%](https://www.forbes.com/sites/pamdanziger/2018/10/18/the-pet-retail-market-is-hot-and-getting-hotter-by-the-day/#5e3b9a27ecdd) of whom see pet ownership as a kind of preparation for having kids. As millennials grow to dominate the earning and spending portions of the economy, the pet industry is booming.
