In the period under review, the microchip was the most popular method of helping when a dog goes missing in Poland.

In the 2024 financial year, over 8,000 missing pets in Australia were reunited with their owners through the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), including approximately 3,940 dogs and 1,180 cats. Overall, the number of animals from the RSPCA reclaimed by their owners each year has been on a downturn since 2018. Second chances for furry friends Besides pets reunited with their owners, approximately another 27,000 animals were successfully rehomed by RSPCA that year. The decline in the number of reclaimed and rehomed animals over the years resonated with the decreasing number of total animals received by all RSPCA facilities, which amounted to just over 81,600 as of June 2024. These downward trends can partially be attributed to increased pet adoption rates, as millions of people were forced to spend more time in isolation due to the pandemic. Pandemic pet frenzy Amid the COVID-19 outbreak, Australia witnessed a massive surge in the number of animal-owning households; an addition of over one million households welcomed at least a dog or a cat to their families. The desire to adopt a dog or a cat also remained high across the country, especially among those who already owned at least one pet. While these “pandemic puppies” were a substantial source of emotional strength and support for many households, concerns were raised about the pets’ well-being amid lengthy lockdowns and how they would adapt to potentially drastic changes in lifestyles post-pandemic.

"Man’s best friend" has long found its place in our homes. Dogs hold this title for being able to understand and communicate with us. Indeed, dog behavior has been shaped by thousands of years of human contact. In 2022, Europe counted more than 104 million pet dogs. From a quantitative perspective, however, there were officially 127.2 million pet cats. So are dogs still “man's best friend”?

Who is man’s best friend in Belgium?

In 2022, over two million pet dogs were registered in Belgium, whilst over 2.5 million pet cats were registered that same year. In 2022, 32 percent of households had a cat whereas only 28 percent had a dog.

Where to purchase a dog?

The average price of purchasing a dog in Belgium ranged from 218 euros to 712 euros. Such price differences are, among other criteria, related to where the dog is bought. For instance, places like shelters can be much more affordable than breeders. In Belgium, shelters help lost pets but also mistreated and abandoned animals. However, these animal shelters are often overpopulated. Beyond making a dog’s life better, getting a dog from such a place can free space for another pet to be cared for.

The popularity of dogs in Spain cannot be denied – the number of hounds has only increased in the last years, reaching figures of approximately 9.3 million in 2023. The number of stray and street dogs rescued on the Spanish streets also saw a considerable increase to over 183,000 in 2019. This figure dropped to 162,000 the following year.

Dogs: Spain’s favorite domestic animal 

Among the wide variety of animals kept as pets, cats and dogs are the most common. In Spain, dogs seem to be the most popular pet, with 27 percent of Spanish households owing at least one canine. The share of households that owned a cat amounted to 17 percent that year.

How about cats?  

Spanish homes had around 5.86 million pet cats in 2023, which is about half the number of that of dogs the same year. The number of rescued stray or street felines was also significantly lower compared to dogs, with approximately 124,000 cats collected from Spanish streets in 2020. The fate of rescued street and stray pets normally has a happy ending, with nearly half of them adopted by a new family and 18 percent returned to their original homes that year.

Dogs were the most popular pets in Japan as revealed in a survey panel by Rakuten Insight conducted between April and May 2024. The survey on pet ownership showed that dogs and cats were the most common animal companions kept in Japan, which is reflected in the dominance of dogs and cat goods within the domestic pet supplies market. Cats and dogs in Japan Even though dogs were popular for their approachability and loyalty among Japanese people, cats are closing in on the popularity of canines. As Japan is struggling to contain the number of strays in municipalities, in particular felines, picking up a lost or stray cat is a frequent reason to become a new owner. In contrast, dogs and other mammals like rodents are mostly mediated through retail channels like pet stores or breeders, requiring higher costs in the adoption process. Pet businesses The Japanese pet market offers owners a variety of establishments and pet stores to indulge their animal companions with services and goods, including wellness programs, accessories, and luxury snacks. While general food and medical expenses make up the top items of annual expenses spent on pet dogs, beauty expenses covering shampoo, cutting, and trimming are coming in third. Boosted by the kawaii (cuteness) culture in Japan, dog barbers and fashion goods for pets are not an uncommon sight in the country.
