'Baby' gates get designer makeover for animal lovers


With more pets in American homes than children, the baby gate is just as likely to be used to keep pets in one place or another. And since its use is no longer temporary, the utilitarian look can get old in a hurry. Full story

Brad White of Midnight Pass had a prestigious design institute develop a pet gate with a distinctive appearance. It's coming to market this summer.

Will spending on pets stall?

Will a slow economy stall spending on pets? That question has yet to be answered, but it's a sure thing that no matter what, we'll still be spending plenty on our pets. For 2008, the American Pet Products Manufacturing Association has estimated that $43.4 billion will be spent on pets in the United States. The breakdown (in billions):

Food $16.9
Veterinary care $10.9
Supplies/over-the-counter medicine$10.3
Pet services (grooming, boarding, etc.) $3.2
Live-animal purchases$2.1
