One of the main reasons dog numbers fluctuate, aside from the impossibility of counting them, is that some figures represent pet dogs while others include the total dog population.

Let’s explore how the kibble crumbles and who owns the most pet dogs! Dogs Population Statistics This stat doesn’t tell you that Romania uses a barbaric dog-culling technique. Romania has the world’s most balanced pet population, with 45% of households owning dogs and 45% of households owning cats. Wow, that is so awesome. One more point about understanding stats. (The Hungarian Vizsla German Wire Haired Cross sprawled on the sofa agrees.)

Personally, that’s no way to treat the domesticated species we love so much. In North America and Europe, we round them up and put them into animal shelters, out of sight, out of mind. In other countries, village dogs roam in cities and villages it’s just how it’s done. We use feral for pigeons and cats but not wild dogs. In North America, we’d say they’re strays. The WHO (World Health Organization) suggests that of all the dogs, we’ll get to that number shortly 75-85% are free-range dogs. Good question who is counting, and who wants to know?

They saw the writing on the wall and that there was money in selling pet food, accessories, insurance, and toys to several million pet dogs. In 1988, companies started to keep better records to track pet industry expenditures. So who domesticated who? Pet dog ownership is on the rise, and the pandemic fueled part of this growth. Since then, dogs have progressed in number and moved from lounging by the fire, keeping a watchful eye, to cuddling with us on the sofa. Humans believe they domesticated the canine some 30,000 years ago.
