They are joining forces again to gather even more pet owner insights. New research, the Changing Pet Ownership Study, will explore the evolutionary change in pet owner attitudes, lifestyle and purchase behavior and the implications to future pet ownership. This study will help manufacturers and all who participate in the veterinary and pet supply industries to better understand the evolution and convergence of pet owner life stages and lifestyles.
