Relevant material: "The Pet Stores industry in Canada has performed strongly over the five years to 2020 as cats, dogs, fish and birds remained popular home companions. High pet ownership rates and an increasing number of pet parents, those that treat their pets as family members, have supported demand for industry products. Additionally, higher household income levels and rising consumer confidence for the majority of the five-year period have encouraged consumers to indulge their pets with price-premium pet products, such as organic, grain-free and gluten-free pet food, boosting industry demand. IBISWorld estimates that industry revenue will grow at an annualized rate of 3.4% to $2.5 billion over the five years to 2020..."
