Summary
The article examines the disconnect between America's growing pet obsession (two-thirds of households own pets, spending is rising) and the poor performance of pet-related stocks since the COVID-19 pandemic peak.

The piece analyzes factors such as pandemic pull-forward effects, changing consumer spending patterns, inflation pressures, and the long-term fundamentals of the pet industry to help investors assess the sector's outlook.
