International researchers surveyed pet owners across a number of European countries and found that 58.4% of them believed their pets should have access to the same treatment options as we have. Additionally, they say that just over half of the surveyed pet parents thought our kits and doggos should get access to the same diagnostic tests as humans. Unsurprisingly, those people who were shown to be more attached to their pets on the survey were more likely to desire advanced care options.
