When drawing up a guest list for a birthday party, most people choose to keep it small with just their closest family and friends.
However, new research shows 41 per cent of pet owners make a conscious effort to involve their dogs in their celebrations.
Not only have owners started involving their pets in their milestone moments, but 19 per cent have started taking them along to coffee shops, 28 per cent meditate with their pets and another 37 per cent regularly exercise with them.
