National Pet Parents Day is finally a day to celebrate yourselves for being the best pet owners! Being a pet owner comes with perks, like cuddles and play time, as well as crazy pet parent behavior. After you’ve had your pet for a while, you might get used to all you put up with. Here are five signs you are a crazy pet owner.
Sharing everything with your pet
This includes your bed, your favorite spot on the couch and even food! Our pet’s irresistible eyes and wet nose are too hard to say no to! Even if you have tried to make a “no paws on the sofa” rule, you can’t resist them forever!
Canceling plans with friends
Another huge sign that you have hit peak pet parent is when you would rather hang at home with your dog or cat rather than your friends on a night out. Sometimes there is nothing better than curling up with your cat to catch up on your favorite shows.
Spending more money on your pets than you
Treats and toys add up, but we don’t care! We’re crazy pet parents! It’s okay to splurge a little on your pets when it comes to their essentials, but you definitely know you’re a dedicated pet owner when you choose pet toys and new accessories over your own wardrobe!
Thousands of pictures of them on your
“Hey, come here and check out all these pictures of my cat!” That is definitely not something a person who doesn't have pets wants to hear, but it’s usually how you start most of your conversations. As dedicated pet parents, we don’t mind at all, we love our furbabies, and showing them off.
Shedding doesn’t bother you anymore
There’s a saying that cat hair is the new glitter. If that statement rings true to you, then you are definitely a pet parent! Whether you are crazy with the lint roller, or rock the pet fur, there’s no shame in taking a little of your pet with you everywhere you go.
We hope you and your pets have fun on National Pet Parent Day. Take time to celebrate yourself and all your crazy habits. Don’t forget, you can schedule an appointment online for your pet’s annual exam.
