Number of Dogs & Cats in Households Worldwide

Cats and dogs are very rampant and can be found exactly anywhere. American people are not only the pet lovers in the world. However, the quantity of pets living in houses across the globe differs. Other countries love dogs while some prefer cats to be their domestic pets. Whatever social status you have, love for animals is very common to people.

Although there is a rapid increase of population in some Asian countries, pets don’t take similar appreciation compared to the Western countries. As an example, there are more or less eleven million cats and 26.8 million dogs in china although China has about five times more people compared to U.S. On the other hand, Japan has a striking number, taking into consideration how small Japan is with 13.1 million dogs and 9.8 million cats.

When it comes to the rest of the world, statistics are insufficient for much of South America and huge areas of Oceania excluding Australia. Australia has a pretty low quantity of pets since there are strict laws in their area concerning pets. Based on the survey, there are about 3.5 million dogs and 2.4 million cats in Australian households. In South America, Brazil control the crowd with a magnificent thirty million dogs and 14.7 million cats.
