UK pet owners love their pets more than their partners
A recent survey by the Post Office has revealed that the majority of women - almost two thirds in fact would opt to take out an insurance policy for their beloved cats and dogs ahead of their partners.
The study confirmed that most women are more concerned about the health and wellbeing of their domestic pets than that of their spouse. It also revealed the drastic measures that pet owners in the UK would be prepared to take in order to keep their much loved pets in perfect health.
32% admitted that they would be prepared to put costly personal belongings up for sale to cover the cost of pricey charges from their veterinary surgery.
In addition to this 11% of 1,994 pet owners surveyed claimed that they would consider re-mortgaging their homes even in the face of increasing economic decline, whilst 33% said that they declared that they would take out a bank loan to cover their pets medical expenses more willingly than they would to fund their children’s leisure activities.
The gravest fears that pet owners stated that they had for their pets were that they would be involved in a road traffic accident or that they would be stolen.
Surprisingly only 2% admitted to having concerns over their pets’ weight, in spite of the latest figures released by the RSPCA estimating that almost 50% of UK domestic pets were obese.
