		<description><![CDATA[With all the news on TV about impending economic doom and gloom I thought it important to discuss how this news impacts the pet industry.

Recent indicators show that the pet industry, while not impervious to the overall economy, has the ability to rise above the fray - and the current trends are a good case in point.  The spending trends are such that the industry looks set to continue to prosper through 2008.  This trend, however, is going to be difficult to maintain if the general economic conditions deteriorate into 2009 and 2010. [....]

		<description><![CDATA[I had a professional groomer for my minature schnauzer for about 7 years. For the past couple of years I have groomed her myself. Mainly because of the expense of health cost I could not afford to pay for the services. I do almost as good as she did except the hair on my schnauzers legs is not as white as when the professional groomed her. What&#8217;s the secret? go to sally&#8217;s beauty supply and buy the purple shampoo that they use on humans&#8230;..its the same stuff that they use on the dogs&#8230;..shampoo the dog with it and let it stand for several minutes&#8230;.then rinse it out&#8230;..dont leave it on to long or you will have a baby blue dog&#8230;..use it once a week, twice if the dog is really stained bad&#8230;..and enjoy your white dog]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new article published in Progressive Grocer further show the trends toward all-natural, holisitic products. &#8220;Alternative pet foods are emerging as the primary beneficiaries of the recent pet food recall crisis, and could enjoy double-digit growth rates over the next two years as traditional mass-produced foods suffer from the perception they might be less safe, according to a new study by market research firm Packaged Facts. &#8220;Billions of dollars in pet food brand sales are now up for grabs as a result of the pet food recall crisis and its ongoing effects as consumers seek out safer, higher quality foods for their pets,&#8221; noted David Lummis, senior pet market analyst at Packaged Facts. &#8220;This is a highly emotional issue for many pet food companies, with many now actively reexamining and restructuring their operations as a result of the recall.&#8221; Indeed, Packaged Facts estimates there will be a brand shift in the market worth $1.3 billion to $4.3 billion in pet food sales, given that the brands used by approximately one in six pet owners were part of the recall&#8221; Take a look at this great business model that capitalizes on this new trend Click Here]]></description>
