HC Deb 04 December 1979 vol 975 c151W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of the proportion of households which have a dog.

Mr. Fox

There are no official statistics for the number of households with one or more dogs. However, a survey carried out in 1977 by Pedigree Petfoods Ltd. suggested that about 23 per cent. of households have dogs.
