Dogs prefer metric, as it has a more "canine" feel. A claw's a centimeter long, a water bowl holds a liter, and a fire hydrant's half a meter high. Some dogs remember metric from the old country, like French Poodles and German Dachshunds.
Seriously the preferences I notice are shampoos, where the expensive "designer" brands are SI (ifp) while the more domestic brands are ifp (SI). Head and Shoulders vs. Panteen Pro, both P&G, are a good example.

The other product I notice recently was fish food pellets a friend was feeding his koi. It was a mostly Japanese-labeled product, in a 500 g package. Interesting how it seems OK to package more and more pet products in metric, but human foods less so! Don
