Pet Tips
Dog ownership in the USThe United States and France are the two top dog-owning countries in the world. There are approximately 62 million pet dogs in the U.S., according to the 2008 AVMA Pet Ownership and Demographic Sourcebook. There is a higher percentage of households who own dogs, even though the number of pet cats is greater than that of dogs. More than 36 percent of the U.S. households own at least one dog. In households with dogs, 63 percent have one dog, 24 percent have two dogs, and 13 percent have three or more dogs, according to the 2007-2008 pet owners survey conducted by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association. Among the participants in the survey, there was no particular preference for male or female dogs, and ownership between the two sexes was equal. Twenty percent of companion dogs were adopted from animal shelters, and about 7 out of 10 pet dogs are spayed or neutered.Share this article on Dog ownership in the US with friends.
