According to the latest research and data, 65.1 million US households own at least one dog, which accounts for 49.5%. In cities like Austin, we see the trend of dog parents keeping its progress. The percentage of homes owning a dog is expected to continue increasing as rescuing animals continues to grow, and as the health benefits of owning a dog become more noticeable.
