Almost two-fifths of pet parents say their pet has a more active social calendar than they do. Who’s the real party animal here?

For many pet parents, celebrations are better with furry friends, so much so 1 in 5 pet parents would only attend if their pet was invited, while 12% would politely decline a wedding invite to keep their pup by their side.

For over half of pet parents, 55%, the perfect holiday isn’t complete without their furry companion, choosing destinations with pet-friendly stays. It seems a pet passport is just as essential as a beach towel!
