SURVEY SAYS ... SURPRISE!

A survey by Pets Best finds that “pet ownership boosts owner happiness.”

Here are the key findings:

  • 83 percent of owners feel having a pet makes them a happier person (specifically, 86 percent of dog owners and 78 percent of cat owners)
  • Owners spend, on average, 8.5 to 9.5 hours per day with their pet
  • Younger generations experience the highest level of anxiety regarding pet care costs (specifically, 87 percent of gen Z owners and 85 percent of millennials)

More than 70 percent of US households include a pet, up significantly from before the pandemic.
