More Attention than Usual: A Thematic Analysis of Dog Ownership Experiences in the UK during the First COVID-19 Lockdown

Katrina E. Holland et al.

Summary: On 23 March 2020, the UK Government imposed a nationwide lockdown as part of efforts to reduce the impact of COVID-19. This study aimed to explore how dog ownership in the UK was affected during this period. Data from open-ended survey questions and electronic diaries revealed three main themes: spending more time at home with dogs, changes in walking practices, and changes in behavior and training. Owners appreciated the extra time with their dogs but were concerned about the potential negative effects on their dogs when left alone. Despite the increased time together, few owners provided alone time for their dogs during the lockdown. Owners also found value in walking their dogs as part of daily exercise but felt restrictions limited sufficient exercise and interaction opportunities with other dogs. New undesirable behaviors in dogs, such as barking or clinginess, were observed during this period. Recommendations include helping dog owners teach their dogs to cope with being alone.

Summary: The survey showed that during the COVID-19 pandemic, most pet cats' welfare, as reported by their owners, was not adversely affected, with the majority of cats showing no changes in behavior and positive changes when reported. Owners who took more measures to prevent virus spread were more likely to report changes in cat behavior but also reported more difficulties related to caring for the cat during the pandemic.

Summary: Companion animals have been recognized as a unique source of social support and contributors to mental wellbeing.
