A smooch for the pooch
A new study has found that the most dog owners kiss their pooch more than their partner.
With National Love Your Pet Day on February 20, a study of 2,000 American dog-owners examined all the ways people show their love for their dog.
The survey found that 78% of people consider their pooch a part of their family.
79% of the people surveyed that were in a relationship and 51% claimed that they kiss their dog more than their partner.
3 in 5 people admitted to preferring their dog to some people they know in the survey which was commissioned by JustFoodForDogs.
The ultimate sign of true love between an owner and their dog is that 13% would allow their dog to sip from the same water as them
According to SWNS, 1 in 4 bought their dog a gift for valentines day.
Founder of JustFoodForDogs, Shawn Buckley said:
“The survey results reflect what we see every day: people view their pets as members of their family,”
“Our pets bring us so much joy, and while they ask for little in return, we only want the best for them and our actions in caring for them demonstrate just that.”
Dr. Oscar Chavez, Chief Medical Officer of JustFoodForDogs said:
“Cooking a nutritionally balanced meal from fresh whole food is the single best thing you can do for your dog’s health,”
“Scientific research shows real food is better for our pets than processed kibble. The fact that 7 out of 10 people surveyed want their dog to eat as well or better than they do demonstrates how pet parents want to make responsible choices for those in their care.”
