According to a recent DogTime/CatTime reader poll, 91% of pet parents plan to buy a gift this season for their dog or cat. The majority of them will even wrap it.

Here’s how the presents pie-chart breaks down:

· New toy: 82%

· Treats: 75%

· New bed, leash, or collar: 35%

· Clothes: 13%

· New brother or sister pet: 2%

And as if that wasn’t enough, 65% of furry family members get their own stocking, hung by the chimney -- or at least safely out of pawing reach.

In this feeble economy, perhaps most surprising of all is that humans are averaging about $30 a gift for their dogs and cats. With nearly 73 million households in the U.S. home to a pet, that's a total spend of close to 2 billion dollars ($1,992,900,000!).
