Several years ago, pet food and pet supply companies started using the term "pet parent."

If you have pets, do you call yourself a pet owner or a pet parent?

I say I have two dogs... They're not my kids. They're not possessions, because they don't have some monetary value and I wouldn't abandon them for a buck if anyone were to offer. They just live with me and I give them free food and affection because they're pretty cool dudes. When they die, I'll bury them in the earth good because they earned my respect.

I no longer have pets, but I did, and I was their pet parent :). They were my babies.

I'm a pet dad. They're like children to me. I take my new pup everywhere with me, to the office, out in the field, supermarket, the patio... everywhere.

Seeing as how said animal didn't come from my girlfriend's pussy or, originally, from my balls, I couldn't possibly call myself, their parent.

I'd be their owner. Their parents are other members of the same species.

Parent sounds better. I like to think of my pets as family.

Lol, trust the majority of women to say they are a pet parent. They are losing the plot fast.

I live with cats, and I am referred to, accurately, as the "staff".
