    dog food is about double what it was in 2020. Say what you will about the cost of energy going up during that time: there’s no way to blame ONLY energy costs for that.

    It’s greed.

      I heard somewhere private equity firms are coming for our pets already, buying up tons of local and regional pet hospitals, dog and pet food suppliers, etc. Basically they know kids are increasingly unaffordable and so they need to capitalize on the fact more millennials are staying childless and treating their pet as their child.
