Almost half of pet parents have canceled plans just to stay home with their pet. That's according to a new survey of 2,000 cat and dog owners, which found that not only have 48% bailed on plans with friends and family, they've done so an average of five times in their pet's life. Have you ever bailed on plans with friends and family to stay home with your pet?

Almost all respondents (97%) agree that their pet is a member of their family and another 99% believe it's important to show them love and appreciation every single day. Do you consider your pet a member of your family?

The survey also asked respondents to design a hypothetical "dream day" for their pet, specifically, a day that combines all their fluff ball's favorite things. Have you ever thought about what a dream day for your pet would be?
