A Quarter of Pet Owners Have Lied To Boss About Sick Pet

When you call in sick or show up late too many times, you can't keep using the same excuse. And blaming it on our PETS is a popular strategy . . .

A new survey found just under a quarter of pet owners have lied to their boss about a sick pet before.

Sometimes it's to get out of work. And sometimes there really IS something wrong. But we worry our boss won't think it's a valid excuse. So we lie and say WE'RE sick instead.

Here are four more quick stats from the survey . . .

1. 39% of pet owners have taken a day off, and27% have worked from home because of a sick pet.

2. 30% have flaked on plans with their friends to spend time with their pet instead.

3. 76% have panicked when their pet swallowed something they shouldn't have. The top five bad things our pets swallow are grass . . . food they're not supposed to have . . . stuffing from toys or pillows . . . toilet paper . . . and bugs.
