A study by Mattress Online found that 64% of people are more likely to choose their pet over their significant other if the two don't get along.

80% of participants said that having an animal actually strengthened their relationship and communication and reduced stress levels.

Half of those involved in the research admitted that they'd let their pet interrupt sex, and most of those surveyed said that their pet smelled better than their partner's breath. Mattress Online CEO Steve Adams advises that sleeping with a pet may disrupt sleep and advises to weigh the risks and benefits before doing so.
