For the Dog's Has a Whole New Meaning

In the reading "For the Dog's Has a Whole New Meaning" I was undecided about how I feel about the value of pet luxury items. For example, I understand spending extra money on pet food because pet owners want their pet to eat healthy and live a  long healthy life so they give them natural organic food without preservatives or food with real meat and vegetables but some of these luxury items I still don't understand. One in particular the article talks about is candles made specifically for dogs. these candles are called sniff pet candles and the prices can be up to $28.00. I think this is a little ridiculous because the money could actually go o the pets needs like vet bills, toys, and food it shouldn't be spent on items like this that are irrelevant to the pet.
      Also in the article it talks about how the CEO of Petco discusses that pet products are a "pretty emotional category". I actually agree with him . the reason I do is because us pet owners care a lot for are pets and love them to death which is the reason we want to get the best products for them such as food, water, and grooming material like shampoo even if it means spending a lot of money on them because I honestly I agree that it is how some pet owners show love to their pets. the reason why I believe this is because sometimes we are not with are animals all the time to show them the affection they need because we are dealing with work or school or other things that keep are life hectic so too make up fro the lost affection we cant give to our pet, we sometimes make up for it buy giving them things like new toys, new treats, and items like that.
   So from this article I believe that some things are worth spending the money on for are pets and others not so much. I came to this conclusion based on the authors bias and detail in the article like when he was talking about  the expensive food  and how they are made with real ingredients such as pumpkin and freshwater trout and the benefits from it ( keep pets body and teeth healthy). this made me think that spending extra on pet food is okay. but when he talks about buying bottles of water designed for pets and then comparing it to the price of a gallon of milk, it makes me think that some of these luxury items are way too much and spendy for the pet when we can get it just as good for incredibly cheaper
