So how important are pets to people? A recent survey by Apartments.com revealed that fourteen percent of pet owners say that a community's pet policy is the first thing they consider when visiting and selecting an apartment. "I love having a pet in my apartment because it feels more like home. The people in the entire building seem nicer and friendlier since the pets also brighten up the common areas," a survey respondent commented.
APPMA; American Pet Products Manufactures Association reports that according to the 2007-2008 National Pet Owners Survey, 63% of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 71.1 million homes. The survey goes on to say, in 1988, the first year the survey was conducted, 56% of U.S. households owned a pet as compared to 63% in 2006.
APPMA reports that 2008 Pet Product Trend has a Pets Welcome Policy in hotels across the country. Many hotels are adopting pet friendly policies. Several chains have announced new pet-friendly policies that include everything from oversized pet pillows, plush doggie robes, to check-in gift packages that include a pet toy, dog treat, ID tag, bone and turn down treat. Some even have a licensed dog masseuse on staff.
