  • There are great formulas out there to come up with numbers for how many pets are in your community, but the AVMA has provided a handy calculator so all you have to do is plug in the number of households in your particular city or county or state. To get those numbers go to:

    Pet Ownership Calculator:
    ownership calculator

    And how best to get the number of households? One way is to go to US Census at http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/ . Remember - this is based on 'households' not individuals.
