When it comes to family members, not everyone in the house walks on two feet. The American Pet Products Association reported that 11.38 million U.S. households have gotten a new pet during the pandemic. While a small increase in pet ownership each year is expected, the pandemic has caused more people to stay at home and seek pet companionship when having to isolate.

This increase has also resulted in a bull market for the players in the pet care industry. Here are some brands benefiting as they provide pet products and services for those furry family members.
