Dogs or Cats—Who Rules Aussie Homes?

Pet ownership in Australia continues to rise, with dogs and cats dominating as the nation’s most popular companions. According to Animal Medicines Australia’s 2025 report, Pets in Australia: A national survey of pets and people, 49% of Australian households own at least one dog, while 34% own cats. These figures underscore the central role pets play in Australian homes and highlight growing demand for veterinary services and pet healthcare.

The Australian Pet Ownership Landscape

Implications for Veterinary Clinics

The dominance of dogs and cats in Australian homes has clear implications for the veterinary industry and pet healthcare providers:

• Consistently high demand for dog- and cat-specific veterinary services

• Increasing pet healthcare spending, including preventive care and treatments

• Growing pressure on clinic workflows, particularly in managing post-consult care, discharge instructions, and medication reminders

For clinics, this means there is an urgent need for efficient veterinary workflow automation to support staff, improve client compliance, and enhance patient outcomes.
