“Pet Ownership in Australia 2013 has been prepared by the Animal Health Alliance (Australia) and is based on the findings of one of the most comprehensive surveys of pet ownership undertaken in Australia. It provides an insight into pet ownership trends and buying behaviour, and outlines the value of the Australian pet care industry to the Australian economy.

This survey will be repeated every three years, with the findings published in future editions of the Pet Ownership in Australia report.

This summary provides high level findings and an overview of the information available in the full report.”
