THE TOP THINGS PETS LIKE TO WATCH ON TV

Super Bowl Sunday is less than two weeks out, and it’s a big day for football fans, including your dog.

Someone polled 2,000 pet owners, and 83% claimed their dog or cat has a favourite sport they like to watch.  Football was number one with 40% of the vote.

The top five sports pets like to watch are football, soccer, basketball, baseball, and golf.  Bowling ranked last, followed by NASCAR.

68% of people in the poll described themselves as “sports fans.”  But 80% think their pet might be an even bigger sports fan than them.  26% also think their pet is a “lucky charm” when it comes to helping their team win.

Sports aren’t the only thing cats and dogs like to watch though.  69% said their pets like watching TV with them in general.

The other top things pets like to watch are cartoons, nature shows, movies, and stand-up comedy.
