Women Put Their Pets Before Their Partners Survey Shows

Think women talk mostly about their love lives or children over the water-cooler at work? Think again – even in the run up to Valentine's Day - a survey has revealed female pet owners talk more about their dogs than their partner or children.

When asked who they speak mostly about with friends or colleagues, nearly 60% confirmed they talk mostly about their dog .

The poll by petnet360.co.uk found 70% of female (compared to 51% male) owners regard their pet as one of the family. Furthermore, more than half (52%) of female owners feel at their most confident meeting people when out with their dog. Only 23% feel at their most confident meeting people when with friends.

Psychologist Dr Ceri Parsons added: "These findings highlight the important role dogs play in women’s lives. Dogs offer women unconditional love that is less complicated than their other personal relationships.

"They have the ability to make individuals feel loved on a ‘no strings attached’ basis and they reward us with behavior, such as greeting us at the door after a long day at work, that we experience as unquestioning love and loyalty. Sharing stories about our pets allows us to validate our experiences of unqualified love and ensures the dog remains (wo)man’s best friend."
