'For the Dogs' Has a Whole New Meaning

To be honest, the whole time I was reading this article I was laughing to myself. I thought a little bit about if maybe organic pet food is better, but I thought about the pets I've had and how they seemed to be perfectly happy. My family always fed our pets regular dog or cat food, nothing organic or specialized, made sure they always had water and took our dog on a lot of walks. I don't believe we need to pamper our pets as much as some people believe we do. The Neuticles, treadmills for dogs, aromatherapy candles and water that costs as much as a gallon of milk seems ridiculous too me. Is your dog or cat really going to benefit so greatly that you need to spend all of this money on lavish items? Some of the things these people are marketing for pets, I wouldn't buy the human version for myself. All the organic food is so expensive, and yeah it's good for you and maybe your pet, but in the end is it really worth the money? Without proper evidence showing these luxury items truly benefit our pet, I don’t think they are necessary. I think the luxury pet items are just another way for humans to show off the money that they can spend. I believe that as long as you are not harming your pet in anyway you are going to make your pet happy, whether they have all the luxury items or not.
