About this data
These rankings come from anonymised, aggregate usage of our free tools — we never collect or publish anything that identifies a person. Figures reflect recent activity and update automatically; in the early days some lists may be sparse while we build a representative sample.
Journalists & researchers: we’re happy to share fuller UK pet-trend data (most-searched dangerous foods, regional emergency-vet demand, breed popularity and more) for stories. Get in touch.
