A New Survey Reveals That South Carolina Pet Owners Lead the Pack in Prioritizing Their Pet's Health--Ranking Highest in U.S.
VANCOUVER, Wash., June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of its 70th anniversary, Banfield Pet Hospital, the nation's leading provider of high-quality preventive care, surveyed 5,000 pet owners across the U.S. to uncover state-by-state pet owner superlatives.
According to new survey findings, pet owners in South Carolina are the most likely to prioritize preventive care for their pet:
- South Carolinians ranked No. 1 most likely to …
- Never miss their pet's flea and tick treatments (48%).
- Have a wellness plan for their pet.
- 39% say they never miss their pet's vaccine due dates and 21% never miss their pet's twice-yearly checkups.
In addition, half say their pet gets regular exercise, though only 29% report having a pet that weighs the vet-recommended amount.
So, while pet owners in the Palmetto State are most likely to not skip preventive veterinary care, they, too, have room for improvement. With locations across South Carolina, Banfield Pet Hospital supports pets' evolving needs at every stage of life.
