1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: New Jersey and Amanda gam Nation. 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 2: Chris Brown is Australia's favorite vet TV host, a very 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 2: close friend of ours, and he's always caring for animals 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 2: and quite sincerely, Chris, I've walked with you through King's 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 2: Cross in the middle of the night and you will 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 2: have you will answer every single person's request about their pets. 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 2: You were very sincerely an animal guy. So you did 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: a pet census recently, the truly important pet censors to 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 2: find out about the role that pets actually play in 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: the lives of Australians. And hello and welcome. 11 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: Thanks. 12 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think our pets probably aren't really included in 13 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 3: our lives as much as they as they could be, 14 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 3: and probably get a bit of a rough rough go 15 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 3: considering we have over thirty million pets in Australia. 16 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: But when you say, when you. 17 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 3: Travel to North America or Europe, they're a lot more included. 18 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 3: You'll see them in cafes, on planes, you'll see them 19 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 3: in hotels. It's easy to get rentals with pets there. 20 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 3: It's just a bit harder than it should be here. 21 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 3: So the census was all about learning more about pets. 22 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 3: Pets are never and it included in our human sensus, 23 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 3: really and there's never been a single question about pets 24 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 3: yet you know, they're supposedly our best friends. So it 25 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 3: was about trying to learn more about them to I guess, 26 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 3: to help them out a bit more, and all the 27 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 3: while that we get some pretty interesting findings out of 28 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 3: the census about the role they the quirky little role 29 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 3: they played our lives. 30 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 2: Well, we just did in our pub test before. They've 31 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 2: released crocs matching crocs for you and your dog. And 32 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: I think you've said before that dogs don't like things 33 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: on their feet, But what role does dress ups play? 34 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: Did you ask that question? 35 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 3: Not specifically, but we asked, you know, whether where the 36 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 3: pets sleep in your bed? Fifty eight percent people share 37 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: a bed with their pet, and other eighteen percent of 38 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 3: people the pet is in the bedroom. So that's pretty significant. 39 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: But the thing about dressing up your pet, you've got 40 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 3: to be really, really careful. They get really sensitive about 41 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 3: haircuts and clothing if you laugh at them, and there's 42 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: scientific studies that show that if you laugh at a 43 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: pet's haircut, they'll go through a period of almost mourning 44 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 3: or grief or extreme stress and anxiety because of the 45 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: fact that they know you're laughing at them. 46 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 4: Wow. 47 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 3: I've had dogs brought into the vet hospital where they're 48 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: not eating and the only identifiable cause is the fact 49 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 3: that you laughed. The owners laughed at that dog's haircut, 50 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: and they just went off their food. 51 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 5: It's like having your wife. You just got to you know, 52 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 5: the missile comes into the house with a haircut. 53 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: Laugh and don't laugh when your wife comes in with 54 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: the cone of shame around him. 55 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 3: Net to be fair, Jonesy, you did Booker into the 56 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 3: grooming cell, which was unfair. 57 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: They do everything. 58 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: So what are some of the more surprising things that 59 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: you've discovered. 60 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think probably that when asked whether who do 61 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 3: you go to for emotional sport? Do you go to 62 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 3: your pet or do you go to your human partner? 63 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: Seventy seven people go to their pet when they're having 64 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: a tough time. So that's that's pretty to be honest. 65 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: Not if I damning or refreshing, you're. 66 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 3: Refreshing, do you look at it does show that the 67 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: lack of judgment that we get from it from our pets. 68 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 3: They feel a certain role in our lives. They certainly 69 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 3: make us feel a bit complete, you know, And and that, 70 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 3: that's that's enlightening. Seventy six percent of people support pets 71 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: being on planes on domestic flights in the cabin with 72 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 3: It happen to be. 73 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: The small ones you put under the front though, don't they? 74 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, they do of a certain certain size there. 75 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 5: Well, what are you going to take on a jet 76 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 5: staff flight. You'll have to take the smallest chiuara in 77 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 5: the world, like a miniature chihuahua. 78 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: Pay a small fee for a chiu hour. Yeah, it's 79 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: so that. That's certainly one. 80 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 3: Only about thirty percent of people feel like there are 81 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 3: enough exercise areas, yeah, for pets in their local All. 82 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: Those areas are getting closed down, aren't they. That's how 83 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: it feels dogs and dogs can't be off the lead anywhere. 84 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 5: Also, snake people are they weird? 85 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: As they're actually in the studio right now waiting for 86 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: each I. 87 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 5: Just always fine, And I'm not slagging snake people because 88 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 5: I don't want to. But unless you're in Motley Crue 89 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 5: or you're a little bit of a weirdo, you've got 90 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 5: a snake. 91 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: They are hard. 92 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: There are harder animal than average to emotionally bond with. 93 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 3: I think speaking of emotionally bonding. What do you reckon 94 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 3: how many? What percentage of people do you think kiss 95 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 3: their pets on the lips, just kiss them, but actually. 96 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: Like lip to lip, tongue to tongue. 97 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 2: No, I'd say seven percent. 98 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: Thirty three No, is that bad for us? 99 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 3: It's actually this is an interesting one. So people often 100 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 3: worry about where that tongue has been. Yes, quite often your. 101 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: Pets worry about where your tongue has been in. 102 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: Their private areas, usually in the minutes before they give 103 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 3: us a lick. So typically they have their bugs and 104 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: we have ours, so their bacteria can't infect us and 105 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: vice versa. So it is very hard to get sick 106 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: from what your pet licks you with. 107 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 5: Sounds like you're one of these thirty three. 108 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 4: Percent weird kiss Buzz on the lips, Buzz sleep on 109 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 4: the bed. 110 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 3: No, but cricket does.
