Pet Owners Make Social Sacrifices, Skip Vacation
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- We know parents make plenty of sacrifices for their kids, but how about pet parents?
A new study of American pet owners shows that people with cats or dogs say they make personal sacrifices to take care of them.
Sixty-eight percent say they feel guilty if they travel without their pet.
The survey also showed pet owners missed out on about 30 social events a year to be with their pet.
The study also suggested that nearly a quarter of pet owners only take one vacation per year, and some not even the one.
