Which Cities Spend The Most Money On Pampering Pets?
Because apparently may is National Pet Month, Amazon.com celebrated by releasing its list of the 20 most pampered pet cities in the United States. Keep in mind that Amazon is in the business of selling pet goods, so this list is far from the definitive word on spoiled pets.
The list is on 2013 sales of pet-related items — from Mr. Whiskers’ favorite toy to Rover’s beloved brush. Does your fish have a ginormous fish palace? That’s included too.
