Popular bingo channel reveals pampering habits of our pet-loving nation
-

Britain’s pets are living the high life, according to research revealed today by Gala TV to celebrate the bingo channel’s eagerly awaited ‘Pet Hour’ during April. 
-
With half of the nation’s pet owners letting their furry friends sleep in their beds and another 49 per cent opting to sit on the floor while their pets lounge in comfort on the sofa, it seems we are definitely a nation of dedicated pet lovers.
-

However, it seems there are limits to our dedication. While most people (90 per cent) said they would rescue their pet if their house was on fire, unbelievably one in ten (10 per cent) still said they would save their mobile phone first!

To celebrate Gala TV’s ‘Pet Hour’, the UK’s favourite bingo channel has recruited TV vet Joe Inglis to co-host the show, which will be web-streamed at www.galabingo.com and broadcast on Sky and Freesat Channel 861 between 8-9pm every Friday from 9-30 April 2010.

In addition to playing a special 10p pet-themed bingo game to win cash prizes and the opportunity to adopt a pet, the BBC’s One Show vet will be revealing other surprising facts about the ways people pamper their pets, such as:
• 33 per cent  of owners allow their pets to sit in the front seat of the car
• 27 per cent  have named a pet after a TV character e.g. Del Boy, Homer, Buffy
• 22 per cent will only stay in hotels which allow pets
• 18 per cent regularly take their pets to a grooming parlour
• 16 per cent only feed their pets organic meat
• 12 per cent dress their animals up in specially bought pet clothes

Joe Inglis said: “I’ve been a vet for 14 years and am still amazed at some of the things people do for their pets as we really are a nation absolutely dedicated to them. But, as well as pampering them, it’s really important to know how to care properly for our animals’ health and wellbeing, which is why I’ll be talking about everything from animal arthritis to pet passports on Gala TV throughout April.”

Kevin Loman, Gala TV manager, said: “We know our viewers are mad about their pets – some people even send in pictures of themselves playing bingo with their dog or cat! So we’re delighted that Joe Inglis will be hosting a month of pet bingo on Gala TV and would like to encourage viewers to send in their questions for him. It’s a great way to learn something useful while they play bingo!”
