Pet study shows:
Lower Austrians are particularly fond of animals
Dogs, cats and the like - a recent study shows that a particularly large number of people in Lower Austria live with pets. Most people enjoy the company of cats.
Most pets live in eastern Austria - more precisely in Lower Austria and Burgenland. This is shown by a recent study. A quarter of households there have one or more animal roommates. Around 209,000 of these have a dog, and many more have a cat.
But it is not only in Lower Austria that the velvet paw is the most popular pet. In general, Austria can be described as "cat country". Around 1.1 million households have a kitty. "Only" 668,000 households have a dog. What is particularly striking in the pet study is that cat households have an above-average number of children and are employed. In contrast, dog households have fewer children and tend to have one or two people between the ages of 50 and 64.
Boom during corona
Even though the animal roommates enrich the lives of many people, a purchase should be well considered. The pet population increased rapidly during the coronavirus pandemic in particular. This number has since leveled off again.
