“Christmas is such a fun time for all the family, including our pets, with Christmas dinner being one of the best parts of the day,” said The Insurance Emporium chief executive Francis Martin.
Indeed, we – pets included – look forward to all the eating that goes down during the holidays. And in case you’re wondering what pet owners feed their furbabies, Censuswide has conducted research on behalf of The Insurance Emporium to enlighten us.
Here’s what UK pet owners give, or are willing to serve, their pets at Christmas:
- Turkey - 83%
- Pigs in blankets - 48%
- Roast potatoes - 40%
- Yorkshire puddings - 33%
- Stuffing - 31%
- Full Christmas dinner - 27%
“Our advice is to ensure everything is in moderation and make sure your pets don’t eat chocolate,” said a spokesperson for The Insurance Emporium, who noted that pets need to have a healthy diet just like humans do.
Martin added: “At The Insurance Emporium, we hope that our products provide families and their pets with peace of mind, especially throughout the Christmas period, when an unexpected trip to the vet might occur.”
In October more than 1,000 people were interviewed online for the survey.
