Nearly two-thirds (61%) of pet owners cite separation anxiety as their primary behavioral concern, surpassing aggression, disobedience, and even physical ailments.
SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SATELLAI, a pioneering force in AI-integrated pet technology, today released key findings from its inaugural "Pet Tech Trends" Survey, revealing a profound shift in what truly matters to pet owners. According to data from Pollfish, pet parents are most concerned with alleviating anxiety and better understanding their pet's emotional well-being, even more than traditional worries around their physical health or location.
If Pets Could "Text," Owners Want to Talk Feelings
Over half of pet owners (52%) say the single most valuable insight they'd love to know about their pet is how they're feeling — far surpassing more practical concerns around "where they are" (16%), "their activity level" (10%), or "if they've eaten" (9%). Interestingly, the desire to connect with pets on a deeper emotional level held steady across all ages, regions, and pet types that were surveyed, further underscoring the significance of emotional insights for pet owners this year.
"This data shows that pet parents are increasingly attuned to the emotional and behavioral complexities of their furry friends," said David Teaster, Product Marketing Director at SATELLAI. "There is a substantial desire among pet owners to learn more about how their pets are feeling and help them communicate those emotional needs effectively, a critical gap that AI-powered pet tech can help fill."
The One Thing Pet Owners Can't Shake: Anxiety
Pet separation anxiety is also now the #1 concern among pet parents by overwhelming numbers (61%), beating out worries around other behavioral issues such as aggression and disobedience (19%) by over 40 percentage points. Underscoring the significance of the problem, 72% of pet owners are at least "somewhat concerned" about their pet's anxiety or stress when left alone.
"Pet anxiety is no longer just another worry of pet owners, but rather their primary concern," Teaster continued. "Owners now assign their pets' emotional well-being the same importance as their physical safety, underscoring the importance of developing new tools to address behavioral concerns in real-time. The next era for smart pet products is all about this trend, and we're likely to see more all-inclusive, AI-powered products capable of evaluating a pet's overall well-being introduced in the near future."
By 2030, the "Pet Tech" market is forecast to grow to $17.75B (up from $7.63B in 2024). This survey is the clearest indicator yet of the motivations driving this rapid growth. Just under half of all pet owners today (46%) are already prepared to hand over their dog's training to an AI tool, if one were available, and 72% are currently using at least one smart device. Owners' overwhelming concerns around pet anxiety and emotional well-being signify a new era in pet care, one that transcends basic needs in favor of a holistic understanding.
Methodology
The research was conducted by Pollfish, among a sample of 600 US pet owners (Aged 18+). The data was collected between 07.03.2025 and 07.09.2025.

America's Pets Are Stressed -- And Their Owners Want to Know Why: New Survey Finds Pet Parents' Biggest Concern in 2025 is Mental Health
TAIPEI, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As artificial intelligence continues to move from experimentation toward real-world adoption, GIGABYTE presents a clear local AI solution at CES 2026. GIGABYTE AI TOP suite highlights an approach to AI that is designed to operate locally, support real-world workflows, and be trusted with sensitive data. At CES, GIGABYTE demonstrates how AI can move from the cloud to the edge locally, where work actually happens, securely and efficiently.
GIGABYTE showcases three systems from the AI TOP lineup at CES, including AI TOP ATOM, AI TOP 100, and AI TOP 500, presenting a scalable path for local AI adoption. All three systems support AI TOP Utility, GIGABYTE's proprietary software for creating and operating AI workflows using locally stored data.
The CES demo focuses on Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) running on the AI TOP ATOM. While standard setups prioritize raw token generation speed, AI TOP ATOM features 128GB of unified memory, making it uniquely suited for RAG tasks involving massive contexts. This hardware advantage, orchestrated by AI TOP Utility, enables processing vast datasets that would overwhelm traditional multi-GPU configurations, proving that enterprise-grade AI can thrive on a compact local system.
Using AI TOP Utility, organizations can turn thousands of pages of unreleased R&D documents into a secure, instant-response internal knowledge base. This "private brain" scenario enables teams to access accurate operational support without a single byte leaving the local server. By keeping data on-premises, this approach eliminates cloud latency and subscription costs, turning technical specs into the tangible benefit of total data sovereignty and real-time intelligence.
Designed for real-world usability, AI TOP systems support consistent workflows across development and deployment environments. The flagship AI TOP 500 TRX50, featuring up to AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7965WX, GeForce RTX 5090, and 768GB DDR5 memory, delivers the power to run models up to 405 billion parameters with confidence and control. Managed by AI TOP Utility, these systems integrate smoothly within NVIDIA's ecosystem on Linux, enabling AI models to operate across compatible environments with minimal friction.
By prioritizing local AI execution, data control, and ease of adoption, GIGABYTE demonstrates how AI TOP Utility transforms AI from a conceptual capability into a practical tool that fits naturally into everyday workflows.
To experience the AI TOP platform in action, visit the GIGABYTE Product Showcase at CES 2026, located at Venetian Expo Level 3, Lido 3005.
