A third of pet owners have more photos of their furry friends on their mobile phones than their children or partners. This is the finding of a new survey, according to which the average pet owner takes more than 400 photos of their pets every year. The study of 2,000 dog and cat owners revealed that only 27% of respondents claim to have more pictures of their pets than their children. The number drops to just 16% regarding photos of their partner.

The survey revealed how much people love their pets, with almost a third of owners claiming they treat them like kings. A quarter of respondents have shown their love by throwing a party just for them, and the same percentage have allowed their pet to kiss them in the mouth. In addition, one in six have even had their furry friend tattooed to keep them close forever. Half of pet owners feel incomplete when they are not close to their pet (52%), and three quarters have taken their pet on holiday (79%)

Pets are often at their owners’ side.

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of the Maytag brand, the survey also revealed that pets are often at their owners’ side, even while they are cooking (38%), getting ready for bed (37%) or exercising (35%).

Many are so close to their pet that they keep their reaction in mind when making changes in their lives, including decisions about moving house (27%), buying furniture (33%) or buying a home with a garden (32%). Almost half of the respondents (45%) said their pet sleeps in bed with them. Most pet owners, however, agree that although they love having them near, their fur becomes a problem (59%).
