According to the 2022 pet study, 95 percent of those surveyed believe that their four-legged friends have a positive impact on their physical and mental well-being. This shows how important the animal companions are for us.

The survey from Germany also reveals that over 80 percent of the creature lovers are worried about having to restrict their buying behavior.
