Bliss spreads across Lalo’s face as his glossy black hair are blown dry by pet stylists. Dogs big and small are beautified for 100 pesos ( $ 7.70) in the back of a van run by Fluffy Shower, a mobile pet-salon that visits Mexico City to apply shampoo and ribbons to upper-class animals.
Pet care is booming in emerging markets, as the growing middle class stops buying dogs for security and starts doting on them. Nowhere has the fashion taken off as quickly as in Latin America. In the past five years spending on pet food and decorations has risen by 44%, to $11 billion, according to Euromonitor, a market-research firm, which estimates that Chile has more pet dogs per person than any other country. Latin pets may be the world’s most fashionable. As Mexico’s rainy season tails off, dogs are stepping out of designer shoes to show off painted claws.
Rising incomes allow Latinos to treat dogs as members of the family. More young people are living alone and putting off marriage, choosing pets for company instead. These "pet parents" indulge their animals as if they were children, says Emily Woon, Euromonitor’s pet-care supremo, who reports that Latin America has been the "star market" of recent years. Latinos are especially fond of dogs, which are costlier than cats, but superior in every respect. Whereas in Europe the dog-and cat-food markets are equal, in Latin America dog food outsells cat food by nearly six to one. There is room for growth. Many Latinos still feed their pets table scraps: three-quarters of Mexican hounds make do with leftover bits of burrito (玉米煎饼). Billboards around Mexico City’s parks urge owners to switch to Pedigree and other brands of delicious packaged pet food.
Glitzy (耀眼的) pet superstores, which account for more than a fifth of pet-product sales in America and Canada, barely exist south of the Rio Grande. The most popular outlets are still small, independent pet shops, which retain customers by offering credit. But the superstores will come. And when Latin animal-lovers can buy a full range of food, toys and veterinary services in one place, life could become even more luxurious for Mexico’s privileged pets. [br] Dog food sells better than cat food probably because______.
选项
A、dog food is less expensive than cat food
B、dogs can eat more food than cats at a time
C、Latinos are developing a liking for dogs
D、more advertising drives are aimed at dog food
答案
C
解析
细节辨认题。定位句指出,在欧洲市场狗粮和猫粮销量对等,但是在拉美市场狗粮销量高于猫粮,题干针对这一现象提问原因。联系上文可知,拉美人特别喜爱养狗,尽管养狗比养猫更加昂贵,但是在各方面都比养猫要好。正是由于拉美人对狗和猫的喜爱程度不同,引起了狗粮和猫粮销售量的不同。可见狗粮比猫粮卖得好的原因是C)“拉美人越来越喜爱狗”。
