For example, when it comes to celebrating the holidays, 60% of dog owners would prefer to smooch their dog under the mistletoe (60%) instead of their significant other or spouse (40%). The overwhelming majority (90%) of dog owners say that their dog is on the nice list this year versus the naughty list (10%).
Additional Highlights from the VetIQ 2015 "Happy Pawlidays" Survey:
When asked what Christmas song best describes their dog, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" (52%), and "Joy to the World" (35%) were the most popular choices, with "Feliz Naughty Dog," (9%) and "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch"(4%) following behind.
- More than 45% say their dog would be the first to dig into the holiday leftovers versus their spouse/significant other (30%), or themselves (25%).
- 82% of pet owners say that they would rather spend the holiday at home snuggled up with their dog than visit family or friends (18%).
- 85% of pet owners think that Santa Paws rocks the red suit better than Santa Claus (15%).
- More than 71% of pet owners say that their dog's favorite stocking stuffer is tasty treats, like Minties dog dental treats, rather than toys (15%), stuffed animals (12%), or a shiny new collar (1%).
"Today more than ever, we know that pets are treated as members of the family," said Glen Moore, vice president of marketing for VetIQ. "We wanted to get a pulse on how owners really feel with a fun Christmas-themed survey. The results confirm what we already know…pets are a very important source of friendship and love for pet parents!"
