Yeah, we used to get dogs vaccinated for rabies once a year and that was all; pretty cheap, too. But now it's $200 worth of vaccinations and heartworm medicines to prevent a whole bunch of possible diseases.
Some of that is because many tend to take better care of pets now than earlier - I think. You are right, the pet care industry has grown tremendously. It's hard to separate the actual need for care from the marketing perceptions planted in our heads?
