America’s obsessions with pets and products
give rise to new 'PuppenNare' party fad

SACRAMENTO. Calif. —
Kristina Andersen sure knows
how to bring a party to life.

“Carrot. vanilla or peanut
butter?" she shouts. holding up
cellophane bags of bone-shaped
cookies.

Immediately. Andersen is
mobbed. A barkfest breaks out.
Laughter fills the room.

Pupperware. anyone?

Andersen. a perky Citrus
Heights. Calif.. animal lover. is
hoping to cash in on America‘s
obsession with its pets.

People have long sold cook»

homes. she reasons. Why not
leashes. squeaky toys and dog—
gie breath mints?

The time is right. industry
insiders say.

Domestic critters inhabit 63
percent of households in the
country. or more than 7! million
homes. according to the Ameri-
can Pet Products Manufacturers
Association. This year. Ameri—
cans will spend an estimated
$4l billion on their animal coni—
panions. nearly double the
amount we shelled out a decade
ago.

Our powerful bond with
pets is not lost on the nation‘s
business moguls. Upscale hotel
chains like Kimpton now' plug
their pet-friendly policies. More
mainstream companies. from
Omaha Steaks to Old Navy. are
marketing pet products. At spe-
cialty stores and even at Target.
customers can buy all manner
of doggie and kitty couture.
from hipster lumberjack vests
to fetching Halloween cos~
tumes. There are feline spas.
canine yoga sessions and dc
signer cages for very special
birds.
