The Bottom Line

If one thing is for sure, it’s that Americans love their pets.  Despite painfully high unemployment and stagnant wages, we as a nation spend billions on our animals.  Both PetSmart and PetMed Express have positive things to offer for growth and dividend investors alike.  PetSmart has experienced solid sales growth and pays a decent dividend, while PetMed Express has a market-trouncing dividend yield and a lower valuation multiple.  In addition, the initial public offering of Zoetis is an enticing entry into the area of medical treatment for animals. The animal health industry in America has experienced rapid growth in recent years and there are few signs that the days of growth are coming to an end.
