Estimated pet-owning household numbers in the table below are estimates calculated from percentages from a 2018 American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) survey with data from December 2016. The Almanac applied these percentages to recent estimated household numbers for Los Angeles County. Percentages for overall pet, dog, and cat ownership were for the state of California. Percentage for bird ownership were for the Pacific Coast region. Percentages for fish, reptile and small animal ownership were for the nation as a whole. These numbers for pet-owning households are, of course, estimates with an unknown margin of error, not accounting for factors such as household income, ages, homeownership, presence of small children, etc. These other factors may affect actual numbers (see Characteristics of Dog & Cat-Owning Households in the City of Los Angeles).

There are estimated to be about 5.3 million privately-owned dogs and 5.7 million privately-owned cats in Los Angeles County.



Number of households are based upon U.S. Census estimates for 2023.

In 1999, the Humane America Animal Foundation directed a random telephone survey of 517 City of Los Angeles households in English and Spanish. They found that City of Los Angeles residents were much less likely to have dogs or cats than the national average. While the average number of dogs per dog-owning household was close to the national average, the average number of cats per cat-owning household was much lower.

City of Los Angeles households:
-- With at least one dog or cat: 26.7%
-- With at least one dog: 19.9% (nationally 39.1%)
-- With at least one cat: 13.0% (nationally 32.1%)
-- With at least one dog and one cat: 6.19%<
-- Average number of dogs per dog-owning household: 1.48 (nationally 1.41)
-- Average number of cats per cat-owning household: 1.57 (nationally 2.40)
