| Dog and cat owners | 184 | 77 | 140 |

Sample size is lower than the Owner profile count because respondents only responded to the LAPS items regarding the species they reported was their favorite pet.
Sample sizes are higher than the Owner profile count because respondents were asked about possession of health insurance for all cats/dogs in the household.
Sample sizes are higher than the Owner profile count because respondents that had both cats and dogs were asked about willingness to pay for each species.
The sample size for the fourth measure, expectation of availability of veterinary treatment, is identical to the sample size of different owner profiles.
