One in four pet owners have created a social media account for their furry friend

One in four pet owners have created social media accounts for their furry friends - with many pets having more followers than their owner's page.

A study of 2,000 cat and dog owners found that, of those with pet social media accounts, over a third (35%) set it up to show their beloved animals off to the world.

Another 34% wanted to enjoy the positive reactions shared over their pets online.
