Australia has seen a major growth in how much that they spend on their pets annually, with owners spending the big bucks to feed them top quality produce.

With billions of dollars being racked up on feeding and medical care, more and more Aussies are seeing their pets as their children.

Speaking with Tony Moclair, Chief Executive of Animal Medicines Australia, Ben Stapley, said the reason so much is being spent is because owners really care for their pets and are wanting to give them the best life possible.
