While many young adults are waiting longer to get married and
have children, Fido is filling the family role.
Responses from over 2,200 pet parents revealed stark
differences in travel trends between millennials —those ages 18-29 — and older
generations:
--Say yes to pets: 84% of millennial respondents travel with
their pets, compared to 79% of the 30-and-over crowd.
--Guilt tripping: 66% said they feel guilty about leaving their
pets at home and 77% worry about their pet while they’re away. Among older
respondents, only 32% reported experiencing guilt, and 55% felt worried.
--Furry family welcome: 78% of millennials bring pets along
when visiting family and friends (and 74% spend the night), up from 62% of
older generations.
--Pets over people: Regardless of age, nearly half of all
respondents said they would rather take a trip with their pet than their
partner. Meow-ch!
