Dog owners start missing their pets less than an hour into a trip

Forget sightseeing and exploring new places: Two in five dog owners said the best part of a trip is coming home — to see their pup. That’s according to a new survey of 2,000 dog owners, which revealed 42% said coming home to their dog can be the part of their trip they enjoy the most. Forty percent of respondents “constantly” worry whether their dog is okay when they’re traveling — and a fifth (22%) miss their dog so much while traveling that it can impact their enjoyment of the trip. Conducted by Talker Research and commissioned by K9 Resorts, the results highlighted Americans’ love for their furry companions and the immense worry that comes from being away from their pets.
