Cat and dog population in Romania
The highest number of pet dogs in Romania was registered in 2010, at approximately 4.17 million dogs. This peak was followed by a drop and only increased to 4.15 million pet dogs as of 2019. Nevertheless, Animax Petshop in Romania outlined that out of the total number of pet dogs, between one million and 1.5 million were adopted from foster places or from the streets. However, the opposite tendency was registered for the Romanian people’s preferences regarding cat pets.
