According to a 2007 survey by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, the most common household pets in the United States were freshwater fish, cats, and dogs. As of 2020, Labrador Retrievers were the most popular dog breed since 1991. The other most popular breeds included French Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Bulldogs.
