The long lasting debate between cat people and dog people is simply about which animal you prefer, it can feel like part of your identity due to the idea that certain people with specific mannerisms fit into either category. Dog owners often adore the energy, loyalty and social aspect of owning a dog, such as the friends you make through dog walks which creates a sense of community as well as a strong relationship and bond between owners and their pets. Dogs bring people together during everyday life and often become a central part of their families. 

Pets are becoming a significantly important part of spending within the households of Birmingham. Research published in 2025 found that dog owners are expected to be spending an average of £2101 a year on their dogs and £1124 on their cats. This works out to roughly £175 a month on dogs and £94 a month for cats.
