People in Swansea say their pet is the love of their life but experts say were missing crucial factors to keep them healthy
A study commissioned by surveyed cat and dog owners living in Swansea and discovered 100 percent think of their pet as one of the loves of their lives, while 50 percent see them as their child.  
In fact, people in Swansea love their pets so much that, according to the survey, they shell out 1,812 a year on toys, treats, food and day care for their beloved animals but whilst pet owners are ready to splash the cash to show their pets how much theyre loved, many pet owners are leaving their pets vulnerable by lapsing on yearly vaccinations which cost around 60-75 and missing regular veterinary health checks. 
Industry figures show that 58% of dogs and 72% of cats across the UK havent been protected with annual vaccinations in the last year, while as many as one in ten (10 percent) of pet owners in Swansea in the MyPet.com survey admit that they only take them for a check-up when theyre unwell, while 20 percent said they havent had their pet vaccinated for over a year. 
Veterinary experts are warning pet owners in Swansea of the dangers of lapsed vaccinations which can put pets at risk of contracting and transmitting serious illnesses during everyday life. This warning comes as 70 percent of pet owners in Swansea admit that their pet often drinks from muddy puddles, 50 percent bring home presents like mice and birds, 60 percent drink from water bowls in public spaces, and 20 percent regularly use doggy daycare, kennels or pet sitters.  
Not only can these activities leave pets susceptible to diseases like leptospirosis and parvovirus if they are left unvaccinated, but they can also result in hefty bills if your pet becomes seriously unwell. 
Three in ten (30 percent) of pet owners in Swansea say they have been forced to pay for an unexpected or emergency vet bill which could have been prevented with routine annual vaccinations. These visits have amounted to as much as 408 each time because pet owners delayed, or actively avoided, taking their pet to the vet (60 percent) due to concerns around the initial cost or because (70 percent) are in the dark about what vaccinations actually do. 
Leading veterinarians are urging pet owners in Swansea to rethink their approach to showing their dogs how much they are loved by prioritising preventative care, explains Dr James Greenwood. 
The veterinary expert shared: This research confirms what we as vets encounter every day with our patients many pets suffer unnecessarily from illnesses that could be easily prevented with a simple annual vaccination. Vaccinations and regular health assessments not only save lives but can also reduce stress and financial strain for pet owners. 
Whether pet owners are struggling to understand their options when it comes to vaccinations or are concerned about the cost, Id always recommend talking to their vet about the treatments on offer as well as the payment plans that are available. 
Additionally, Rebecca Keseru, Veterinary Advisor at MSD Animal Health warns of the dangers of failing to get your pet vaccinated annually: Vaccinations are essential part of keeping our pets healthy. Not only, along with a yearly health check, do they help protect from life-threatening diseases like canine parvovirus and feline panleukopenia, but they can also help owners avoid costly medical treatments in the future. 
Sometimes people assume pets only need vaccines when they are young, but dog and cat vaccinations do not last a lifetime, so our pets need regular boosters throughout their lives to remain protected. 
Vets (100 percent), veterinary clinics (30 percent), websites (70 percent), family (30 percent) and friends (20 percent) are the main sources of information when it comes to our pets health, along with other owners (10 percent). 
Amid these concerning statistics, experts urge pet owners in Swansea to act as by prioritising preventative care, so pets can live longer, healthier lives and avoid unnecessary nights in hospital.

Companion animals - a reason for living
For many dog owners the companionship of dogs is often
literally the only reason to survive,
to get up, to still keep going.
It gives them a reason to get up,
a reason to get out,
a reason to move around and
be in contact a little bit with the world outside."

Pet dogs pose significant threat to wildlife and ecosystems
"Many owners simply don't realize the environmental damage dogs can cause, from disturbing wildlife to polluting ecosystems...Others may feel their individual actions won't make a difference, leading to a 'tragedy of the commons' where shared spaces like beaches and woodlands suffer cumulative degradation."

The environmental impacts of mans best friend
We give a free pass to dogs and their owners
Study "highlighted the impacts of the worlds commonest large carnivore in killing and disturbing native wildlife, particularly shore birds."
A "study of animals taken to the Australia Zoo wildlife hospital found that mortality was highest after dog attacks, which was the second most common reason for admission after car strikes."
"The researchers attributed the extent of the environmental impacts to the sheer number of dogs globally, as well as the lax or uninformed behaviour of dog owners. A lot of what were talking about can be ameliorated by owners behaviour... pointing out that low compliance with leash laws was a problem."
If nothing else, pick up your own dog shit."

Taking a break from my kibble puzzle. My diet now consists of 80-85 percent grass and hay, about the same amount of greens as I usually get , and far less treats. Pfft!!! I miss the cardboard and tons of treats. But I suppose its better than being in the hospital so.... sigh. Poor me. Poor Lola.
