Listen: the hidden toll of pet health worries on owners

Ever lost sleep over worries concerning your canine? If so, turns out you’re not alone!

New research reveals the significant emotional toll that pets’ health issues are taking on owners, with half of pet owners losing sleep worrying about their pet’s wellbeing.

It’s not our sleep patterns our pets are disrupting; it appears that fretting over our four-legged friends is also impacting our holiday plans too – as 1 in 5 pet owners avoid going away altogether due to worrying about their beloved pet and the warm weather.

New research from Zoetis has found a quarter (25%) of pet owners have been kept awake by their pet’s excessive licking or scratching.
