What does it mean to live in a country with more pets than children?

Did you know that Canada has more pets than children?                                      According to recent data, the number of dogs and cats in Canadian households exceeds the total number of children under the age of 15. This trend says a lot about the evolving expressions of affection, family, and lifestyle in a constantly changing society.

🐾 Pets as part of the family
More and more, animals are seen as full-fledged family members. They receive care, love, and attention equal to — and sometimes greater than — what is given to children.

👶 Fewer children, more conscious choices
Falling birth rates have multiple causes: from economic challenges to cultural shifts. Many people are choosing to have fewer or no children, but still embrace the companionship, responsibility, and love that pets bring.

🌍 The challenge of responsibility
With more pets in the world, there's a growing need for public policies, education, conscious consumption, and animal protection initiatives. Adoption isn’t enough — care and commitment are essential.

💛 At AMAVOO, this is part of our purpose
We believe every consumer choice can support this new form of affection. A portion of sales from our marketplace supports projects that care for dogs and cats in vulnerable situations.

Living in a country with more pets than children reflects our times — and invites us to build a more conscious, empathetic future for all kinds of families.
