LOS
ANGELES, April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- Fluffillow, a platform providing comprehensive, unbiased
reviews of dog gear, today unveiled the results of an exclusive
survey underscoring the importance of dogs in millennials' lives,
as well as indicating a broader trend towards prioritizing
companionship and well-being over material goods and personal
savings.
"An astonishing 85% of respondents
expressed their willingness to forego personal savings goals, such
as saving to buy a house, for the sake of their dogs."
According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), 33%
of current pet owners are millennials. "We wanted to dig deeper
into this statistic," says Marek
Bowers, founder at Fluffillow, "and explore the relationship
between millennials and their dogs, examining how this generation's
spending habits correlate with needs for companionship and
emotional support."
Fluffillow's survey, conducted among 100 millennials aged 25 to
44, sheds light on millennials' deep commitment and emotional bond
with their dogs. The findings reveal that 22% of respondents choose
to prioritize their dogs' needs over personal luxuries such as
vacations.
Additionally, an overwhelming 74% of participants reported
spending over $100 monthly on dog
care, highlighting the significance of their pets in their lives.
Breaking down monthly spending even further:
- 45% spend between $100-$199 per
month
- 23% spend between $200-$299 per
month
- 6% spend between $300-$399 per
month
Furthermore, an astonishing 85% of respondents expressed their
willingness to forego personal savings goals, such as saving to buy
a house, for the sake of their dogs. It is clear that for
millennials, the emotional support and companionship offered by
dogs are invaluable.
The survey also delved into the emotional rationale behind
millennials' spending patterns on dog care. A staggering 82% of
respondents agreed that spending on their dog is essential for
their overall well-being. This statistic further emphasizes the
profound psychological and emotional benefits derived from pet
ownership, outweighing the temporary satisfaction of a vacation or
luxury item.
Contrary to popular beliefs about millennials and pet ownership,
this survey reveals their deep commitment to their dogs. The
findings go against the notion that millennials prioritize material
possessions and immediate gratification. Instead, they value the
long-term emotional bond and companionship provided by their
four-legged friends. The survey shows a significant shift in
priorities, with millennials challenging conventional norms and
reshaping the landscape of consumer spending.
In conclusion, the survey findings highlight the strong
emotional bond millennials have with their dogs and their
willingness to prioritize their pets' needs over personal luxuries.
It is clear that for this generation, dogs provide invaluable
companionship and emotional support, leading to a shift in
priorities towards well-being and long-term happiness. As
millennials continue to prioritize their dogs' needs, the pet care
industry needs to adapt and cater to their evolving demands.

Turk platform, which allowed for a diverse representation of

backgrounds, and socio-economic statuses. A total of 100

representation of the millennial demographic. It aimed to capture a
