According to the Veterinary Surgeons Board, the number of pet owners increased by 72% between 2006 and 2016. And according to the statistics of Census and Statistics Department in 2018, it was estimated that there were over 240,000 households in Hong Kong owning pet dogs or pet cats, which account for 9% of households in Hong Kong, and the number of pet cats and dogs totalled about 400,000. With the growing population of pet animals, the thriving pet economy is almost as dynamic as the human economy. According to the statistics, the sales revenue of pet food in Hong Kong reached HK$1.1 billion in 2018. While some married couples prefer keeping pets to raising children, elderly people who live alone also enjoy the company of pet animals. The closer integration of animals into our society brings about a booming pet economy. Why are Hong Kong people so fond of keeping pets?
