How to read this. Figures are BLS mean annual spending per "consumer unit", which is close to a household. Averages include households with no pets, so a pet owner typically spends more than these numbers. Groups with few survey households can swing from year to year. Rows in italics marked "(all)" combine the groups listed with them and are left out of the chart and the range.
