More than 80% of pandemic-pup owners are worried about leaving their dogs home alone, reveals new research. Leaving the TV, radio and lights on are the most common techniques used by owners to comfort their dogs when they are left alone.
The research, by smart lighting brand 4lite, discovered that nearly half of dog owners (44%) bought a new dog during the pandemic with a quarter (26%) becoming dog owners for the first time.
