The entire business is about 115,000 or so associates [company employees] around the world and is well over $35 billion. Pets are about half of that. It’s well over in terms of associate base: Veterinary health on its own is about 70,000 associates. That’s a pretty substantial size. Why are pets such a good business?
We believe that if you create a better world for pets, they create a better world for you. I’ll give you an example, a personal connection. When I was about 7 or 8, we went to get our first dog, Rascal, a Welsh corgi, which seems a bit strange given I’m Scottish. Since that day, I’ve loved dogs. It would come play with us. We’d walk it. It became part of the family. Look at the transition dogs have had over time. They may have been on the farm, but they’ve gone to the porch and now, in many cases, they’re on the bed. My dogs, Ollie and Mattie, don’t get to go upstairs, but they’re family members.
