I’ll have what Zack’s got in his bowl
Britain is living up to its reputation as a nation of dog lovers with many owners feeding their four-legged friends healthier and tastier meals than they serve up for themselves, a survey published Wednesday said.
A study of 1,337 British dog owners found that 18% fed their pampered pet pooches a better diet than their own, giving them fresh dishes instead of tinned food.
Consequently 21% of dogs enjoyed cheese, 15% were given fish and 9% chomped on vegetables. More than a quarter of respondents said they would eat the food they bought their dog.
However, the gourmet meals came at a price, the study for Direct Line insurance said. Pet owners pay out £2.3 ($4.3/€3.4) billion a year on their dogs’ dinners and 10% admit their pet has got a weight problem.
