The majority of people had 1 or 2 pets and this was reflected in our vox pop. We also
included interviews with people with lots more pets and that were more out of the
ordinary.

The most common pets that people owned were dogs and cats although people also owned
other animals such as rabbits, fish and reptiles. We filmed interviews of people with these pets
but also decided to get an interview about more unusual pets as it would be something different
to what people are used to seeing and therefore more interesting to watch.

Where people
got their pets.
The majority of people got there
pets from a rescue home so we
made sure to arrange an
interview with an animal shelter
to show why people may chose a
pet from a rescue centre instead
of somewhere else.
How Much Do Pets cost/ Week
We felt that it was important to
see how much people spent on
pets to show how much people
were willing to do for there pets.
No one said they spent over £30 so
we arranged an interview with
someone who spent more than
this as it was unusual and
therefore probably more
interesting for people watching

• Do people dress their pets? Yes= 7/30
No= 23/30
How many people regret buying their pet(s)?
• Regret – 2/30
• Don’t Regret – 28/30
Through finding out that very few people regret buying there pets it shows that pets is
a good choice for a documentary as not only do a lot of people have pets but people
are attached to their pets and they are an important part of their life.
