Do You Live in a Cat State or a Dog State?

When considering the unique qualities of cats and dogs, it’s fascinating to observe how their distinct traits often mirror the personalities of their owners. Cats, with their sweetness and curiosity, embody an inquisitive, independent, and vigilant nature, much like some of their human counterparts. On the other hand, dogs, known for their affection and loyalty, often match the warm and devoted characteristics of the people who choose them as companions.

Boca Raton, FL – You could be fooled into thinking that dogs are more popular than cats, but our data doesn’t agree. In fact, interestingly, it was neck-and-neck. While 25 states said they prefer and own cats, the other 25 said dogs, as there are different pets, and sometimes you can even find a cat and dog fighting so learning what to do is essential.

Some notable cat states include Massachusetts, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Whereas dog states include California, New Jersey, Colorado, and Texas. Ragdoll Cats are one of the most popular breeds that people adopt as a pet.

Dog owners who are having difficulty training their dogs may consider hiring an in home dog training professional.

Whether you have dogs or cats, make sure that they receive proper care and health services from a veterinary clinic to keep them happy and healthy. Find a certified veterinarian to provide routine checkups and the necessary vaccinations to your pets.

Pet owners are notorious for sharing pictures of their furry friends on social media, but which does it the most? 

We asked our 3,000 respondents whether or not they post about their pets on their profiles, and the results are in. 53.2% said they post pet photos online, with 46.8% saying they don’t. Of those who said yes, 56.8% were dog people, and 43.2% were cat people.

The conclusion? Dog lovers are more likely to flood the newsfeed with pictures of their pooches along with its items like that dog crate furniture. The data also revealed that the average that posts their pet does so twice per month.
