Why Wellington Pet CareSM

The 24-hour pet care concept developed by WSI offers pet parents the opportunity to provide their pets with a fun environment in their absence. Pets have a daily schedule that includes socializing with other pets, personal activity programs, and access to grooming and training. Wellington's professionally trained staff helps to ease separation anxiety for the pets by encouraging them to bring their own pillows and special toys; and for their pet parents' peace of mind, Wellington offers online viewing via Web Cam. According to senior management, "Wellington Pet CareSMis the best choice for your best friend, whether for a day or a week."

Why Pets? According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association's National Pet Owners' Survey, Americans spent $35.9 billion on their pets in 2005, more than double the $17 billion spent in 1994. The Association estimates that $19.5 billion was spent on services other than veterinarian care. The Census Bureau's tracking service of retail sales reports that Americans spent more money on pets than on hardware, jewelry, or candy in 2004.
