Give PetSmart a Bone

It must be true that dog is man's best friend -- man continues to spend on his furry friends, at least when shopping at PetSmart (PETM Quote). PetSmart customer spending grew 6.51% from $50.67 in January 2008 to $53.97 in October of the same year.

These data come courtesy of the new Main Street Spending Index (MSSI) compiled by Geezeo, a personal finance Web site that helps consumers track their spending.

Contrary to popular belief, many people are still spending strong when it comes to pets.
