Nearly 9 in 10 believe in love at first sight with their pets
More dog owners had an “instant connection” with their pet than with their partner, according to new research.
Commissioned by The Honest Kitchen and conducted by Talker Research, the survey of 2,000 dog owners in serious relationships revealed that 80% had an immediate connection with their dog, compared to 69% who said the same for their partner.
Results found that respondents were also more likely to believe in “love at first sight” with animals than people: 87% compared to 62%.
Still, one in five (19%) said it took time to build a bond with their dog and, of those respondents, 20% questioned whether they made the right decision in adopting their pet because they didn’t have an instant connection. But the wait was worth it: 74% said the bond between them and their dog is stronger because they had to build it over time.
