More than £6.5bn was spent on pet-related products in the UK last year and figures from OnBuy suggest that more than £2bn of that would have been on Christmas-related gifts.
And OnBuy’s survey revealed that 74% of pet owners actually wrap up their presents for their furry family members to open up on Christmas day!
Toys seem to be the most popular of gifted presents bought for pets, with 53% spending most of their pet present budget on toys. This was followed closely by treats (42%). Collars were the least popular presents at just 3%.
From the data collected by OnBuy, it has been calculated that Brits are set to spend about £64m more on their pets than on their partners!
According to OnBuy, 11% of Brits intend to spend £100 or more on their family pets this year.
