Where does your pet fit in?

September 20, 2011 by Little Creek Veterinary Clinic

Trivia gathered from around the U.S. and published in Firstline magazine:

“Sixty-six percent of pet owners think their pets have a sixth sense about bad weather, and 43 percent say their pets have a sixth sense about bad news.”¹
We say:  this explains why the cat disappears on the day of its vet visit, before the Pet Kaddy even makes it out of the attic.

“Fourteen percent of pet owners would choose to hold onto their pet over their romantic partner or spouse.”²
We say:  as long as Sir Barksalot pays his share of the mortgage, we see no problem with this.

“Seventy-eight percent of parents with a new baby said their dog freely eats food that drops from the baby’s highchair, 68 percent said they pay less attention to their dog’s food portions after their baby’s birth, and 65 percent said they have less time for dog walks or don’t feel comfortable bringing the dog during baby stroller walks.”³
We say:  if you substitute “toddler” for “dog,” are some of those statements still true?

  • Dear Military Families,

    There is some confusion on the web, leading members of the military to believe we are located on base.

    While we are available to care for your pets, please be advised that we are not a military facility, nor affiliated with Little Creek Amphibious Base.

    In the event of overseas transfers/PCS, we refer those cases back to the military due to the complexity of foreign-import rules.
