How Often We Worry About Our Pets

A typical pet owner goes into "pet panic" mode six times a month.

How many times a day do you worry about your pets? A new poll found the average is three times a day and a typical pet owner goes into “pet panic” mode six times a month.

The most things that concern us are…unexpected puking…seeing them fall off a chair or something high up…and when your dog slips its leash, or your cat tries to run out the door. When we’re not home, our top worries…did they get into the trash, or something they’re not supposed to be in? Or, are they sad or lonely right now?

A company called Tractive that makes pet GPS trackers did the survey, and here’s a fun last question to end on…if your cat or dog did escape and have a night out on their own, do you think they’d enjoy themselves? 60% of pet owners said yes.
