This was the result of a survey of 2,000 pet owners commissioned by the international pet insurer ManyPets in London. These pets have an average of 925 followers, with 89 percent of owners admitting that their pets have more followers than they do. However, 42 percent of adults with personal social media profiles admit to filling their own feeds with pictures of their dogs and cats .

Passionate pet owner

“It is evident that pets are the pride and joy of the nation. Whether we're showing them off on social media or throwing them a birthday party, our four-legged friends deserve the best. We love that pet owners are passionate about putting their pets first, which is a core value we share as a brand - and our mission is to make the world a better place for pets and their owners says ManyPets CEO Steven Mendel.

38 percent of those surveyed have more pictures of their pets on their own smartphones than of friends, and 26 percent have more of them than of their parents. For two thirds, pets are among their best friends.

34 percent of all pet owners host birthday parties for them. Almost half of those surveyed spend more on their dogs and cats than on some of their loved ones.

44 percent miss their pets more than their parents, children and friends when they are separated from their four-legged friends.

26 percent almost only go to restaurants where their animals are accepted and 55 percent make new friends because of their animals.
