In 2021, University of Copenhagen published the first results from a survey of Danes’ keeping of and relationship with companion animals – danskernes hold af og tilknytning til kæle- og hobbydyr (in Danish). The first partial results include dogs and holdings of rabbits.

This survey is the first since 2000, where Statistics Denmark published a news article on pets Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik om kæledyr (in Danish).
