Species specific information

Pet education is critically important in Australia due to the country’s high rates of pet ownership—with over 31 million pets living in approximately 7.7 million households, with nearly three-quarters (73%) of homes owning at least one pet, according to recent 2025 data from Animal Medicines Australia. 

Dogs remain the most popular pet, followed by cats and the need to ensure the safety, health, and ethical treatment of both animals and humans is essential. Species specific education bridges the gap between animal welfare legislation and practical, daily care, fostering a culture of compassion, responsibility, and safety.
