I worry about my dog a lot, he is a little goofball. I am glad I am not the only one who worries about their pets and now there is a term for it.

The average pet owner worries about their pet three times a day, and goes into "PET PANIC" mode six times a month.

How many times a day do you worry about your pets?  A new poll found the average is three times a day.  And a typical pet owner goes into "PET PANIC" mode six times a month.  So, once every five days.

Most of the stuff we worry about doesn't end up being serious.

Other causes include:  They don't want to eat . . . they don't come when you call their name . . . they're not as playful as usual . . . and they DO get outside, or escape the yard.

When we're not home, our top worries are:  Did they get into the trash, or something they're not supposed to be in?  Are they sad or lonely right now?  Are they hungry?  And could they have gotten outside?

A company called Tractive that makes pet GPS trackers did the survey, and here's a fun last question to end on . . .

If your cat or dog did escape and have a night out on their own, do you think they'd ENJOY themselves?  60% of pet owners said yes.

My biggest worry about my dog is his nose lol. He has a bad nose and sometimes struggles the breath. We have been woken up by him in the middle of the night because of it. At least now I can call it Pet Panic!

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
