Interesting facts about how much Brits love our pets

Hi fellow pet panderers,


Check out these interesting facts that the girls and I at work have found about how much we Brits love our pets. In a survey I found out that half of the nation’s pet owners let their furry friends sleep in their beds and another 49 % opt to sit on the floor while their pets lounge in comfort on the sofa, it seems we are definitely a nation of dedicated pet lovers.


And three-quarters (74 %) of Brits carrying a picture of their pet on their mobile phone (I have my dog in mine!), it seems we also like to dine with our pets. Even if it’s steak or roast chicken we’re cooking up, 50 % enjoy the same meal as their owners – putting a new spin on dinner for two!


We are obviously very dedicated to our pets and 12% of us even dress our pets in specially bought pet clothes. If like me you want to impress your mates down the pub with these facts check out BBC pet vet Joe Inglis on Gala Bingo TV this Friday. I have heard that he is doing a special pet hour feature on Free sat channel 861 – great if you want to combine pet info and have a flutter!


All the best
