Description

Current consumer confidence trends point to more positive prospects for cat population than for dog population growth. The University of Michigan’s Index of Consumer Sentiment was reported at 56 in January 2026, down by nearly half from its historical benchmark. This reverts to the ultra-low consumer confidence levels back in the territory of pandemic-era lows (which saw attrition in the pet population, despite mixed signals at the time), and far below indexes in the 90s for the years 2015 through 2019. From this consumer confidence perspective, puppy adoption patterns show a rough relationship to consumer sentiment trends, a relationship that does not hold for kitten adoption.

With detailed investigation of diverging dog vs. cat population patterns and of pet population growth factors, Pet Population & Ownership Trends in the US, 9th edition, provides up-to-date, wide-ranging, and data-rich analysis. Report coverage includes the national population and macroeconomic context, pet ownership rates, pet population characteristics, pet owner demographics, and pet population projections for 2025 vs. 2029. An extensive set of tables and figures lay out pet ownership rates and pet owner demographics across several metrics, based on Packaged Facts’ proprietary National Surveys of Pet Owners and on historically trended MRI-Simmons National Consumer Survey data.

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.
