A new survey has found that, despite their financial situations, animal owners are dedicated to and grateful for their pets and will not change how they care for them during tough financial times.
According to a recent survey released by Catalyst Direct, pet owners overwhelmingly stated that they would go above and beyond for their pets as they provided their own form of emotional support during tough times.
While 73 percent of respondents said they were currently worried about their finances and 64 percent stated they were more anxious than usual, 89 percent of respondents said their pets helped them "deal with the stresses of life."
Similarly, while the study found that 59 percent of respondents reported a lack of confidence and 32 percent said their stresses had impacted their sense of identity, 83 percent of respondents said they valued the steady presence a pet played in their lives, while 86 took solace in their pets” appreciation regardless of one’’s monetary and job status.
Even when low on funds, 49 percent of respondents said they would reduce spending on personal items before cutting costs for their pets, while 41 percent said they would cut internet/cable or gas costs.
For families with little funding who are desperate to hang on to their pets and want to avoid giving them away to a shelter in lieu of not caring for them properly, a payday loan could afford a pet’’s food and supplies to keep them cared for and part of the family.
