Description

Pet Population and Ownership Trends in the US

Focusing primarily on dogs and cats, this report provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of pet ownership rates, pet population characteristics, and pet owner demographics. This report also provides topline coverage of ownership rates for other types of pets (fish, small mammals, herptiles, and birds).

The COVID-19 epidemic muddied the waters on pet population trends. There is no debate over a pandemic-era spike in pet care spending, and a spate of pet adoption did occur in relation to the stay-at-home/work-from-home dynamics in the wake of the pandemic. But with the dust largely settled, it’s become clear that other factors led to pet ownership attrition, which offset the pet adoption dynamic.

Historical data show that a gradual ramp up in dog population has been in play for decades, but this trend peaked before the advent of COVID. In contrast to dog ownership rates, cat ownership has fluctuated relatively moderately over the last decades, and has edged upward post COVID-19, correspondingly emerging as an important driver to pet market growth.

This report features proprietary Packaged Facts consumer survey data from February 2023 through December 2023, along with Fall 2023 and historically trended syndicated pet ownership data from MRI-Simmons. Also incorporated are information and data from the pet industry trade press and from government, business, and institutional sources such as the American Pet Products Association (APPA), the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Census Bureau, Federal Reserve Banks, the Harvard University Joint Center for Housing Studies, and the National Association of Realtors.

The analysis in this report covers demographic shifts across the key pet owner variables of gender(s) in household, generational cohort, race/ethnicity, household income, household composition by marital status and presence/ absence of children, and type of residence. In addition, based on macroeconomic and internal pet market factors, topline projections for the household population of dog owners and cat owners are provided for 2023 vs. 2030.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
