American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) survey shows that singles both those never married and those recently separated or divorced are increasingly turning to pets for love and a sense of family.
According to AVMA’s U.S. Pet Ownership and Demographics Sourcebook, it’s still more common for a pet to be owned by a family, but pet ownership among single people increased by 16.6% from 2006 to 2011, and is now 54.7%. That compares to just 1.37% growth in pet ownership for families, to 66.4% now.
