An estimated ** million households in the United States owned at least one dog according to a 2024/25 pet owners survey, making them the most widely owned type of pet across the U.S. at this time. Cats and freshwater fish ranked in second and third places, with around ** million and ** million households owning such pets, respectively. Freshwater vs. salt water fish Freshwater fish spend most or all their lives in fresh water. Fresh water’s main difference to salt water is the level of salinity. Freshwater fish have a range of physiological adaptations to enable them to live in such conditions. As the statistic makes clear, Americans keep a large number of freshwater aquatic species at home as pets. American pet owners In 2023, around ** percent of all households in the United States owned a pet. This is a decrease from 2020, but still around a ** percent increase from 1988. It is no surprise that as more and more households own pets, pet industry expenditure has also witnessed steady growth. Expenditure reached over *** billion U.S. dollars in 2022, almost a sixfold increase from 1998. The majority of pet product sales are still made in brick-and-mortar stores, despite the rise and evolution of e-commerce in the United States.

The association between pet ownership and the development of allergic and respiratory diseases has been the aim of several studies, however, the effects of exposure in adults remain uncertain. The aims of the present study were to investigate the prevalence of asthma and lung function status among dog and cat owners. This cross-sectional study was performed at two universities with students and workers who were allocated into 3 groups according to pet ownership in the previous year: cat owners, dog owners, and no pets (control group). Subjects underwent spirometry, bronchial challenge test with mannitol, skin prick tests, and questionnaires about animal exposures and respiratory symptoms. Control group comprised 125 subjects; cat owner group, 51 subjects; and dog owner group, 140 subjects. Cat owners had increased asthma prevalence (defined by symptoms and positive bronchial challenge test), but no changes in lung function compared to the control group. The dog owner group had lower spirometry values (forced expiratory volume in one second and lower forced vital capacity), but similar asthma prevalence, compared to the control group. In the cat owner group, excess of asthma may have an immunological basis, since we found an association with atopy. Although we did not have endotoxin data from volunteers' households, we postulated that low values of lung function were associated to exposure to endotoxins present in environments exposed to dogs.

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Animal identification app: Utilize the "cats-dogs-monkeys" model to create a mobile app that helps users identify and learn more about different types of animals, specifically cats, dogs, and monkeys, as well as their behaviors such as eating, walking, and sleeping.

2. Pet adoption platform: Integrate the model into an online pet adoption platform to filter and categorize pets based on species and behavior (such as cats, dogs, and monkeys) to help potential adopters more easily find their preferred pet.

3. Wildlife monitoring and research: Apply the model to analyze video footage or images from wildlife cameras or research studies to automatically categorize and document animal behaviors, helping researchers track and analyze animal populations and habits.

4. Pet care management system: Integrate the model into a smart pet care management tool, such as an automatic pet feeder or home monitoring camera, to identify pets and monitor their behavior, providing data to pet owners to better care for their pets and maintain their well-being.

5. Educational material creation: Utilize the model to generate educational content, such as interactive games, quizzes, or flashcards, to help children and students learn about animals, their behaviors, and other related information, making learning fun and engaging.

Both cats and dogs fetch, but the likely function(s) of this behavior for each species have not been compared. In this study, we assessed data from online surveys of cat and dog behavior (Fe-BARQ; C-BARQ) completed by cat (N = 8224) and dog owners (N = 73724). We assessed responses to the items "Plays ‘fetch’; likes to retrieve thrown objects or toys" (Fe-BARQ) and “Will ʻfetchʼ or attempt to fetch sticks, balls, or objects” (C-BARQ). Cats and dogs described as "sometimes," "usually" or "always" fetching were categorized as fetchers. Regression models were used to examine which animal-related (e.g., sex, age) and environmental factors best predicted fetching, and chi-square tests were used to explore the effect of breed on fetching behavior.Fetching was reported in 40.9% of cats and 77.8% of dogs. In cats, fetching was correlated with play and activity. In dogs, fetching was correlated with overall trainability. In both cats and dogs, being female, older, living with (other) dogs, and having health problems decreased the likelihood of fetching. Breed effects were observed in both species, with fetching more prominent in cat breeds originating in the Far East and in dog breeds from the Retriever, UK Rural, Poodle, Pointer and Spaniel clades. We discuss the results in the context of domestication history of both cats and dogs and posit several hypotheses about why fetching behavior is observed in both.

Descriptive statistics of the study participants by their pet ownership status (No pet, Dog, and Cat).

The present dataset is based on a questionnaire which is also part of this package. The enclose questionnaire includes identifiable and relevant variables names (yellow highlighted).

Participants were recruited by Norstat, a European-based survey company, with the aim of gaining a representative sample of Austrian, Danish and UK citizens, including pet owners. The survey company administers and hosts online panels comprising citizens from many European countries. We aimed for a sample that is representative in terms of age, gender, and region. Therefore, a stratified sampling principle was set up where individuals within each stratum were randomly invited to participate. The invitations were issued through e-mail that contained a link to the online questionnaire. Data was collected from 11-25^th of March 2022 in Austria, from 11-24^th of March 2022 in Denmark and from 8-23^rd of March 2022 in the UK. The invitation provided information about the background of the study, the participating universities, ethical approval, estimated time for questionnaire completion and further, participants were informed that the completion of the questionnaire was voluntary and anonymous, and that they could exit the survey at any point. Before participants were directed to the survey, they ensured informed consent by confirming that they are over 17 years old, and consent to participate in this survey.

Besides the questionnaire the dataset includes a csv and an Excel file consisting of the data that is used in the ms. and an rtf and a pdf file with data variable names/labels, and value labels.

The Act 11/2003, of 24 November, on the Protection of Animals, created the Central Register of Pet Animals as an instrument for the management and control of these animals in Andalusia. Pursuant to this Law, Decree 92/2005 of 29 March was issued, which established the obligation to identify and register by microchip all dogs, cats and ferrets resident in this Autonomous Community within three months of their birth or one month of their acquisition. Article 19.3 of Law 11/2003, of 24 November, provides that the Junta de Andalucía may conclude agreements with the Veterinary Associations for the conduct and maintenance of censuses and registers. In its application, Article 12.2 of Decree 92/2005, of 29 March, establishes that the Ministry of the Interior (current Ministry of the Presidency, Interior, Social Dialogue and Administrative Simplification) will entrust the Andalusian Council of Official Veterinary Associations with the management of the Central Register of Pet Animals, which will be responsible for issuing, processing and storing the identification codes of each animal. The Andalusian Council developed in 1998 a computer platform called Andalusian Register of Animal Identification (RAIA), in order to have a database in which those voluntarily identified pet animals and their owners were registered, in order to facilitate the location of the owners of said animals in cases of loss and / or abandonment, and being already then the identification and registration procedure very similar to the current one. That is, the identification was carried out through the implantation of a microchip by a veterinarian who in turn completed a document called Official Identification Certificate in which the identification data of the animal were recorded, as well as the personal data of its owner or holder. On 15 February 2021, the then Ministry of the Presidency, Public Administration and the Interior and the Andalusian Council of Official Veterinary Associations signed an Agreement for the management of the Central Register of Pet Animals in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. This Agreement, which was formalized by incorporating the information and system of the RAIA database, has allowed an adequate management of the Central Register of Pet Animals and the municipal registers, in the Andalusian Autonomous Community. Currently, the electronic identification process of pet animals, as already described by Decree 92/2005 of 29 March, is carried out through the set of veterinarian identifiers authorized by the Andalusian Council of Official Veterinary Associations, in accordance with the applicable regulations. These veterinarians proceed to implant the microchip in the animal and issue the official document, called Official Certificate of Identification, which accredits it. That is when, in accordance with the mandate contained in the aforementioned Decree 92/2005, of 29 March, the data of the owner and the animal are registered in the telematic application of the Andalusian Council of Official Veterinary Associations that supports the Central Register of Pet Animals. The Andalusian Council of Official Veterinary Associations maintains the Register and the computer application that supports it and adapts the information to the needs of the Ministry of the Presidency, Interior, Social Dialogue and Administrative Simplification, unifying in the same animal file the data relating to the health card or the European passport and the municipal licenses on potentially dangerous animals granted. The management of the Central Register of Pet Animals by the Andalusian Council of Official Veterinary Associations through its telematic application, has shown itself during these years as a very effective instrument for the control of the population of dogs, cats and ferrets through their identification and registration, for the purification of possible responsibilities of the owners as well as for the location of these in case of lost animals for the purposes of their return, and even for an effective action in the event of possible health emergencies. Likewise, the permanent and continuous improvement of the application carried out by the Council, in coordination with the Ministry of the Presidency, Interior, Social Dialogue and Administrative Simplification, has allowed it to become an important tool to evaluate public policies in relation to the protection and welfare of pet animals.
