From 1997 to 2007, the pet market grew ten times and became a US $41 billion industry (Chen, Hung, and Peng, 2011). Pet owners are more attached to their pets than before is one important factor that contributes to this development (Serpell, 2003). Although this marketing is growing significantly, little is known about how pet owners consume pet-related products and services (Chen, Hung, and Peng, 2012). To narrow the gaps in the literature, this study examines how pet attachment and owners’ personal values influence their pet products purchase behavior.
