Why Join the Pet Industry?

More than 90.5 million U.S. households1 are home to at least one pet. That’s 70 percent of all U.S. homes. With more people staying home during the pandemic, pet ownership jumped four percent. But we don’t just own them, we love them! People consider their pets as part of the family, with 83 percent of pet owners2 referring to themselves as “Mommy” or “Daddy.”

Caring for our pets has become one of America’s favorite pastimes. In 2020, $103.6 billion was spent on pets in the U.S. In 2022, it’s projected that people in the U.S. will spend close to $109.6 billion on their pets.1 As the pet population continues to grow, there is no end in sight for the strength of the pet industry. Even during tough economic times, spending on pets doesn’t slow down.3 Pet owners are willing to sacrifice many daily luxuries to provide for the needs of their canine companions.4
