RFID tags are used in many industries, for example, an RFID tag attached to an automobile during production can be used to track its progress through the assembly line; RFID-tagged pharmaceuticals can be tracked through warehouses; and implanting RFID microchips in livestock and pets allows positive identification of animals.
U.S. Pet (Dog and Cat) Population Fact Sheet PET DEMOGRAPHIC DATA U.S. households that own a pet (bird, cat, dog, horse, fish, reptile, small animal) â 62% (72.9 million households) Dogs U.S. households that own a dog â 37 to 46% (43.5 to 54.1 million households) Estimated U.S. dog population â 70 to 78 million Average number of dogs per household (of those owning a dog) â 1.6 to 1.7
The first thing to note is that there are more cats can dogs in the U.S., with 86 million owned cats compared to 78 million owned dogs. However there is a quirk here, since 39% of all American households own a dog compared to 33% of American households with cats. The reason is that cat people like higher numbers with 52% owning more than one cat, as compared to dog owners where only 40% own more than one dog.
