中國人漸漸追求更健康、更幸福的生活，他們愿意在“毛茸茸的朋友”身上花更多的錢。

As the Chinese seek more healthy and happy lives, they are willing to spend more on their furry friends.

8月15日，由亞洲寵物展和狗民網共同調研的《2019年中國寵物行業白皮書》正式發布。

該報告調研對象覆蓋一二三四線的養寵及未養寵人群，調查人群為全國城鎮常住人口。調查共回收超過4萬份調研樣本。

The report is based on a survey on both pet owners and people without pets living in first, second, third and fourth-tier cities and towns in China. A total of more than 40,000 questionnaires were collected in the survey.

報告顯示，2019年中國城鎮寵物犬貓消費市場規模達到2024億元，比2018年增長18.5%。

China's urban pet (dog and cat) consumer market is expected to surpass the threshold of 200 billion yuan in 2019, with the overall consumption scale reaching 202.4 billion yuan, an increase of 18.5 percent over 2018, according to a white paper released by goumin.com and Pet Fair Asia.

寵物犬消費市場規模為1244億元，比去年增長17.8%;寵物貓消費市場規模為780億元，比去年增長19.6%。

北京、上海、西安、成都四大城市總養寵消費達486億，其中2019年上海寵物(犬貓)消費規模達197億元，居此次調研的四個重點城市的首位，其次是北京市，成都和西安緊隨其后。

寵物經濟的發展說明現代人在寵物身上的投資增加，更加負責任，更加有愛心。

而成功的寵物經濟背后，是無數個“鏟屎官”們任勞任怨的背影。
