At 62 per cent, Australia continues to have one of the highest household rates of pet ownership in the world with around 5.7 million of Australia’s 9.2 million households home to a pet.
The AVA reported that dogs remain the most popular type of pet with almost two in five households (3.6 million) owning a dog.
Cats were the next most common type of pet with nearly three in 10 households owning a cat (2.7 million).
The AVA also reported that Australian households are spending more than $12.2 billion annually on pet products and services.
