UK sales of seasonal pet treats, toys and food rocketing

Sales of Christmas pet lines up 964% year-on-year at Waitrose online as people spend more on pet care

Unlike buying a present for a fussy father-in-law or an awkward aunt, a dog won’t complain if their treats aren’t the latest, and a cat is not likely to turn its nose up at a Christmas tree-shaped scratch tree.

Perhaps that’s why Britons are so happy to spend on their pets this Christmas, with sales of seasonal pet treats, toys and food booming.
