Texas residents shared if they'd noticed an increase in pet food prices and whether the commodity could ever get so pricey that they'd have to give up their pet.
"I actually recently switched my dog to a different brand of pet food," she said. "I buy my food from Chewy — their prices are usually great — but even those have gone up."
Phil, of Austin, said he'd recently noticed a price increase for specialty pet treats. But he told Fox News he "wouldn't give her up for anything." Pet food prices inflated more than 15% year-on-year in January, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. "I've not experienced pet food going up, but pet treats have gone up," the dog owner said. "The treats that we get — the specialty treats, the jerkies, things of that nature — they've gone up."
