A new addition to the family is always an exciting and busy time. From this point on the new parents will have to sacrifice their independence and freedom as they become inundated with new responsibilities and concerns. This attention and responsibility used to be reserved for new children; however, as the developed world has seen birth rates plummet to all time lows children are slowly being replaced with pets and in particular dogs.
There are approximately 78 million dogs in the USA which means that there are more dogs than there are children under the age of 18. This new found obsession with dog ownership is strongly linked to other demographic trends such longer work weeks, lower relative wages and a change in social values. Nicknamed “Generation rex” these dogs have literally replaced children for many people across the world and they have been receiving the treatment and care that would otherwise be reserved for a child.
The unconditional love and affection of a dog seems like an easy choice when compared to the diaper changes and temper tantrums that many parents dread. Not surprisingly this love is reciprocated by dog owners which has led to the birth of an industry completely dedicated to dogs. Everything from clothing to spas our dogs deserves only the best products and services. You would do anything for your child and the recent trend shows that we will do anything for our dogs.
