More than half of U.S. homes have at least one pet, with the number growing every year. The most common pets are dogs and cats. These furry, four-legged family members have long provided love, friendship, and sometimes protection for their owners.
Though cats and dogs are the more traditional choice, pets come in all shapes and sizes. Small mammals like hamsters, gerbils, and mice are popular choices for many people, especially those with limited space that might not accommodate larger animals. Slightly larger mammals like rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas have also become much more prevalent in American homes, particularly for families with older children.
For others, bigger is better when it comes to finding the right pet. Horses are the companion animal of choice for millions of American families. These noble creatures are an important part of farm and ranch life across the country, and also are used for therapeutic purposes.
