What type of pet owner are you and how do you cope with loss of a pet?
- Tags:
An interesting comment I read recently reminded me about an article I studied while completing my Certificate IV in Companion Animal Service.
“Recent research shows that people often grieve as much for their pet as they do for people, but they get less support and often feel embarrassed about admitting it….”
As part of an assignment we were asked to discuss the various categories of dog owner that Michael Fox (1) outlined in his paper. Fox defined 4 categories of pet/owner relationships:
- Object -orientated
- Exploitative, Utilitarian
- Need - Dependency
- Actualizing
What type of pet owner are you and how has this affected your feelings when you lose a pet?
