Being a pet owner is a rewarding venture, until your pet starts tearing up the furniture and pees everywhere.  Otherwise, it's lovely.

Not a moment goes by for some folks when they're not thinking about their critters, including times when we can't help but worry about our pets.


A study conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Tractive found that the average pet owner has six "pet panics" a month, amounting to 72 pet panics over the course of an entire year!

Per SWNS Digital, the most things we worry about tend to be not such big deals in the end but include "unexpected puking; seeing them fall off a chair, or something high up; when your dog slips its leash; or when your cat tries to run out the door."

When we're pout and not home with our pets, our biggest worries include: "Did they get into the trash, or something they're not supposed to be in?  Are they sad or lonely right now?  Are they hungry?  And could they have gotten outside?"
