So I was dressing up my dog so it would look reaaal cute. Pets should look fashionable too, you know. So then, I took her out for a walk and a neighbor told me she looked absolutely wonderful. She has a pet cat that wore a beanie (with holes for the ears to go through), which it promptly removed after a few minutes of wearing it. Then it hit me, how many people actually dress their pets to look lovely? As I searched for an answer, I came across not only that, but a few funny ones as well.
- Around 21% of pet owners dress their pet nicely.
- 58% of pets are included in family and holiday portraits, while 70% of owners sign their pet’s name on greeting cards.
- The most pet dogs — being owned by almost one in three families — are located in the U.S. and France.
- In the U.S., approximately 1 million dogs have been named as the primary beneficiary in their owner’s wills.
- 79% of owners give their pets presents for birthdays and holidays.
- If you look at your dog while it’s sleeping, sometimes you’ll see its eyes move and twitch under its eyelids - meaning they also have dreams.
- Dogs can smell a thousand time better than humans and can hear noises that are cannot be heard by human ears. Cats have a sense of smell that is fourteen times stronger than a human’s.
