Puppy love is in the air

One in 10 pet owners surveyed said they will get their dog or cat a Valentine's Day gift.
Pets and partners on a par this Valentine's Day

With Valentine's Day looming, love is definitely in the air for pet owners as a new survey shows one in 10 people plan to buy their cat or dog a gift.

The most popular way to spoil our furry friends is a special meal, according to the survey by Co-operative Pet Insurance. A fifth of those who planned to treat their pets in this way said they would be cooking the meal themselves.

Other top 10 gifts were treats, pet-friendly chocolate, toys, a new collar, an item of clothing, new bedding, a cuddly toy, new walking gear and a grooming/pamper day.

One in five pet owners who took part in the survey said they spend as much on their pet as their partner - with the average amount being £23. About 40 per cent said it was just as important to spend Valentine's Day with their pet as their partner.

But for some owners, pets take priority. One in 10 people admitted they love their pet more than their partner and would prefer to celebrate the day with them.
