Worldwide pet ownership has increased substantially
Pet ownership around the world boomed during the pandemic, as many turned to furry friends for emotional support and to improve their own wellbeing. Many that previously put-off owning a pet found themselves with more time at home and more time to care for and look after an animal.
More than half of the world’s population is estimated to own at least one pet.
