Creating Pet Owners: Are Veterinary Visits Really in Decline
We are witnessing an unprecedented data explosion in the 21st century. As we live our day-to-day lives, we’re leaving trails of data everywhere.

We wanted to better understand the difference between how the subscribers of the biggest internet providers think compared to subscribers of the rest, including those who subscribe to smaller, regional internet providers.
Through a national internet survey, we asked home internet subscribers how frequently they used their subscription for common daily activities such as emailing, surfing, shopping and even working from home.

There’s a Millennial called “The Boss Babe.” She probably has a dog. So does “the Quarter-Life Crisis,” because pets make everything better.
