Pet Parents
China is seeing a growing trend in the number of people owning pets. A recent survey finds that one in 13 Chinese now keep animals. And the number is set to go up in the future. China is not only a country seeing a rapid growth in its population, but also, its pets population.
Though this figure is still only a quarter of the number in America. Dogs and cats, like most countries, remain the top choices for Chinese people, accounting for 80 percent of the total number. In terms of age, 92 percent of pet owners in China are younger than 45. Among them, those between 25 to 30 represent the largest number. It seems the stress of city life has not only driven an emergence of younger "pet parents", but also a change in attitudes owards how people care for their, mostly, cuddly companions.
