The new trend of Scottish women has been found out by insurer Petplan as part of the Petplan Census. The survey says that now a days women have started treating their pets as their babies.These women have gone extremely fond of treating their pet as their babies. They try different things to dress them up. Also they follow cutesy gibberish while talking to them.
Dr Deborah Wells, senior psychology lecturer at Queens University in Belfast, said, "Dogs and cats can offer their owners many of the benefits frequently provided by children, including love and affection, companionship and happiness.”
This survey has brought out some really interesting figures. It states that 75 percent of Scottish women treat their pets with expensive gifts and food items on special occasions like Christmas, and on these pets' birthday. While 82 percent feeds their pet with food that human beings eat. Like cheese, cake and crisps.
The survey also stated that there are pet owners who worry, when they have to leave their pets alone or with some pet care centres when they are out of station or at work.
Wells added that pets can train these mothers for motherhood. These women attain summit of satisfaction when they treat their pet as their child. Also pets act as a blessing to couple who are child less.
