Average holiday spending on pets surpasses money spent on families

If you're making sure to remember Fido on your Christmas list this year, you're not alone.

The average shopper is expected to spend $30 on pet gifts. That's up 14 percent over last year.

People are actually being more generous on their pets than with their own families. The average budget for a family is $459, up just six percent over last year.
