That means the country now has 17 million pet-owning homes, the association says. Young people are the main drivers of this trend, with more than half of new owners aged 16 to 34, the PFMA says. Many have bought pets in response to social isolation, but there are concerns about animal welfare, it adds. Introducing a pet to a household in Covid times can have repercussions or create some unexpected difficulties, said the association s deputy chief executive, Nicole Paley.
