A recent survey of 1,014 American pet parents, undertaken by veterinarians.org, found most willing to put their beloved pets unequivocally first.

 

83% 
would work a second job to pay for their pet’s health care.

 

 

38% 
would take a pay cut for a year if it meant they could spend more time with their pet.

 

56% 
would end a relationship with a partner who didn’t like their pet. This number is even higher for women, at 64%.

 

96% 
would rather give up all junk food than their pet (Begging the question: who are the other 4%?!)

 

84%
would pony up the money for pet therapy if needed.

 

67% 
would rather give up the ability to leave their house for two years than their pet.

 

30% 
of women would even end a relationship with someone their pet didn’t like. And while romantic relationships may be easier to sever than those with family and friends, some are still willing to choose a furry companion over their pals and parents—25% of people would cut off a friend or family member who didn’t like their pet.
