Half of people with pets have experienced their animals interrupting when they're being intimate and 6% say it always happens. Another half have found their dog gets jealous during 'periods of closeness'.
Research by healthy pet food brand Burns Pet Nutrition found that in order to not upset their pet, one in three partners have opted to avoid 'relations' altogether. And a quarter have used their dog as an excuse not to have sex with a partner.
However, singletons have found that pets, especially dogs, can be ideal for a get-out-of-jail card. If you swiped right and went on the date but it wasn’t going well, one in three people have used their pet to get out of the situation. Almost half of pet owners would dump their partner if their dog didn’t like them.
