		<description>A growth in the pet industry indicates that more and more people value their pets. Hopefully this trend will grow and more people will become educated on responsible pet ownership and this will impact the lives of those animals not quite as fortunate as the pets currently benefiting from the consumer spending right now, there owners. I would like to see more people investing in caring for their pets education and mental health, a trained dog is a retained dog!</description>

		<description>Wow what a great article and it soo true! I&#039;m still amazed at all of the pet products that are available out there!  I try to buy the high quality while still as inexpensive as possible, as we all do! A product that i&#039;ve found and love is Fur-Zoff for removing pet hair.  It has a lifetime guarantee and is a &quot;green&quot; product! You can find it now at http://www.FurZoff.net.  Thanks for a great article once again!</description>

		<description>Great article, Laura.

One trend I think you missed is international pet travel and transportation.  As people continue to move and travel around the world for their careers and in search of better economic opportunities, pets are going global!  PetRelocation.com, an Austin-based startup, is providing door to door pet travel services for people moving around the world, including pickup at their residence, delivery to the airport, climate-controlled pet-friendly flights, and customs clearance and delivery.  We recently launched a newly designed site (http://www.petrelocation.com) with how-to videos on pet travel crates and more, as well an &quot;Ask Our Experts&quot; section which has been getting tons of questions.  Additionally, we launched a social network for people moving and traveling with pets called MyPetMove.com.  

The big question I have is:  When will you be launching pet travel insurance?  We&#039;d love to offer some suggestions.
