TLDR
In 2020, pet ownership in America reached an all time high of 70%. The majority of newly adopted pets went to first time owners. The first year of owning a pet is the most expensive. Unexpected vet bills arising from accidents and injuries are the most common driver of high pet care costs. The biggest cost categories are food and treats, followed by veterinary care and products. For dogs, this year’s costs range from $1,314-$1,843, depending on the size of the dog.via the TL;DR App
