According to Rover.com, women view themselves as “dog moms” rather than just owners. A study conducted by Veterinarians.org found that 70% of Millennial women who chose not to have kids view their pets as children and treat them as such.
Key Findings:
- 69% of respondents say that having a pet is easier than having a child.
- 52% say it’s easier to find care for their pet if they need to leave their home for an extended period of time.
- 53% made a home purchase/renting decision based on whether there was enough outdoor space for their pet.
- 33% of Millennial home-buying decisions were chiefly driven by the buyer’s dog (outranking marriage and kids as incentives).
- 48% say the costs of caring for a pet are lower compared to children.
- 42% of respondents say pets are less stressful.
- 39% say that having a pet instead is less time-consuming.
This study also discusses other reasons Millennial Women have decided to opt-out of motherhood.
