When it comes to our pets, we all like to make sure they have everything they could want, but a recent poll commissioned by has found that it's Generation Z who are most likely to splurge on their four-legged friends. There's no doubt that pets mean a lot to us, and many owners like to show that by lavishing them with new toys, tasty treats, or perhaps even renovating an entire bedroom for them. Of course, that usually comes with costly spending habits, and a recent poll has revealed exactly how much people are willing to pay out on their pet.
The exclusive survey of 1,000 U.S. adults conducted by Talker Research for has shown that Gen Z (people born between 1997-2012) spend an average of $148.
50 on their pets each month, the highest of all those surveyed. Millennials (people born between 1981-1996) have the second highest average, spending $136.20 per month, while the Silent Generation (people born between 1925-1945) had the lowest monthly spend, with $68.
90. The results show that 13 percent of Gen Z would spend under $50 per month on their pets, while 31 percent spend between $50-100. Some would go even further than that though, as 24 percent of Gen Zers reportedly spend $151-200 per month, and 7 percent would spend as much as $201-250.
When asked if it's reasonable to spend money on luxury items or services for a pet, 54 percent of all respondents said yes. Again, Gen Z were the most likely to agree with this as 66 percent said yes, compared to 25 percent who said no. Baby.
