People are continuing to buy special dog supplies and other treats for their animals in order to keep their pets happy, recent research shows. A study by the American Pet Products Association (APPA) found that despite economic concerns, people are ongoing to spend more on their pets.

Time Newsfeed suggests there may be one key reason why people are still happy to spend on their pets, despite other monetary worries. It notes that pets animals can help to decrease stress and bring happiness to their owners, so regardless of hard external factors, people may be "more likely to care for their source of relief".
