Methodology

How this page is kept useful

Figures are included only when a named source publishes the number. This is a reference page, not a survey or a forecast created by Pet Palace. Each figure keeps the source's current context rather than adding assumptions.

The page is reviewed about once a month, or sooner when the source releases a meaningful update. Older figures are removed or clearly dated rather than being presented as current.
