Cats and dogs escape financial cutbacks
While it’s impossible to go through a day without hearing about new austerity measures, pet owners who believe in preventative healthcare, it seems, are bucking the trend, with significantly more (84%) visiting the vet at least once a year in 2010 compared to 2007 (78%). What’s more, 44% have increased their spend on their pets in the last year with only a very small number (5%) decreasing it. There has also been a significant increase in the number of dogs insured by this group since 2007, which now stands at 55% compared to 41% in 2007.
These findings are part of a recent Noesis survey (January 2011) commissioned by the National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) of 1,000 pet owners, which was originally run in 2007.
