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

[OtterMan68]

Several years ago, pet food and pet supply companies started using the term "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'm a cat lady and this Blondie. 💗

[IslaTheWitch]

I just pay for the rent and food :D and they would let me sleep on the small part of the bed :D

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.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Neither really. I adore my dogs so much, they kinda own me!

[FunkyMonkee]

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.

[SillyMari]

I have a dog currently and he knows I say "I'm a dog mom"

[NamerOfStars]

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

[NathanDavis]

truth is... I'm my cats' guest

and so is the doggo...

[WhitneySnow]

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

[DarkLegacy]

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

[msc545]

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