Nearly half of dog owners say their pet has a “meal ritual” — and some of them are extreme.<br /><br />That's according to a survey of 2,000 dog owners, which found 44% said their pet performs a precise routine or behavior at mealtime.<br /><br />From whining or barking (21%) and jumping up and down (21%) to doing a little dance (21%) and wiggling their whole backside (19%), almost half of participants said their pet has a signature “move” when it’s time to eat.<br /><br />The research, conducted by Talker Research on behalf of JustFoodForDogs, also found these rituals don’t just involve the dogs. Owners admit to being part of the routine, too.
