Notably, 97% of pet owners consider their pets part of the family, highlighting the deep emotional bond between people and animals. Dogs remain the most popular pet, with 65.1 million U.S. households owning one, followed closely by cats, owned by 46.5 million households. This widespread ownership fuels demand for products and services that support pet health, comfort, and lifestyle.
The growing number of pet owners in the U.S., coupled with the trend of treating pets as family members, is a major driver for the pet travel services market. Pet parents are increasingly willing to invest in safe, comfortable, and premium travel arrangements for their animals.
