-65% of women vs. 50% of men say they’d be more likely to perform CPR.
-54% don’t have a fire evacuation plan.
-41% have had at least one incident requiring an emergency trip to the vet.
-20% have a pet first aid kit at home.
-16% have pets who’ve had allergic reactions.
-7% have pets that have eaten something poisonous.
