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(yè)白皮書》正式發(fā)布。
該報告調研對象覆蓋一二三四線的養(yǎng)寵及未養(yǎng)寵人群，調查人群為全國城鎮(zhèn)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(zhèn)寵物犬貓消費市場規(guī)模達到2024億元，比2018年增長18.5%。

北京、上海、西安、成都四大城市總養(yǎng)寵消費達486億，其中2019年上海寵物(犬貓)消費規(guī)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(fā)展說明現(xiàn)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(shù)個“鏟屎官”們任勞任怨的背影。
