Average pet owner has this amount of pet panics every month

The average pet owner has 72 “pet panics” over the course of a year, according to new research.

Between incidents that have already happened (18%), hypothetical situations that could happen and both of the above (54%), a survey of 2,000 American cat and dog owners revealed these panics happen about six times every month.

The most common pet panics were revealed to be throwing up unexpectedly (52%), falling off a chair or couch (48%) or slipping their leash outside (45%).
