Are you a “helicopter pet parent”?

You’ve heard of “helicopter parents”…those that “hover” over their kids to protect them from the world.

There’s also “helicopter pet parents”!

A new study of dog owners finds 91% pay close attention to what their dog needs and 70% have made at least one major change in their own life to accommodate them.

79% read the ingredients in their dog’s food before buying it…and 66% of dog owners have cooked for them!

When do dog owners fire up the grill for Fido?

  • On their birthday
  • When you come home from a long trip
  • On their adoption anniversary
  • For a major life event, like a big trip to the vet
  • Before you leave town on a trip  

Do you cook for your dog?
