Owning a pet is a rather common practice in Italy. The way one acquires a pet, however, can differ from owner to owner. Some prefer to buy puppies at specialized stores, others would rather adopt them and in some cases one becomes a pet-owner by means of a gift. A survey conducted on pet-owners who were also veterinaries' clients revealed that, in 2019, ** percent of them purchased their pet. This figure was more or less stable from 2007 to 2019, always fluctuating around a value of ** percent. However, there was a decrease in 2017, when the share of pet-owners who purchased their pet dropped to ** percent.
