Why Pet Owners Put Their Pet’s Health First Before Their Own

Back in 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans on August 10 which led to 1,800 deaths and $125 billion worth of damage. Ray Nagin who was the mayor of that time, issued a mandatory evacuation order where somewhere between 150,000 to 200,000 people didn’t follow. 19% of these people who didn’t flee had one reason - they didn’t want to leave their pets behind.

Fast forward today, a time when the pandemic is at its rise, what would be the reason for pet owners to avoid and delay testing or hospitalization? There would be four: lack of their pet’s accommodation, lack of pet care in their absence, not wanting to be separated, and not wanting to bother other people for pet care.
