Why 'pet parents' could be doing more harm than good, according to animal behaviouralists
Tamara Cavenett is a self-confessed "pet parent" and says she took her dog Benji everywhere with her for the first couple of years of his life.
"I was perfectly happy to go over to someone's house with my dog, regardless of what might have suited them," she said.
"So I certainly can understand people who treat them like their family."
But as a psychologist, Ms Cavenett says she soon realised there needed to be a healthy balance between spending time with her pet and her own wellbeing.
