Millennials Reply To Being Accused Of Ruining The Pet Food Industry By Saying It's Not Their Fault

Millennials Are Changing The World, But Is It For Better Or Worse? 

According to a new study from Nielsen, as birth rates continue to fall in countries around the world, people are spending more money on their pets. In fact, pet owners have been splashing out 37% more on pet food alone in the past 10 years, meaning people are forking out for more expensive food that is supposedly better for their pets.
