New research has revealed that in a nation of animal lovers, pet parents called Margaret are the most loving pet owners.
Ahead of Mother’s Day online personalised card retailer, Funky Pigeon, analysed more than 15,000 Pet Mother’s Day card orders to reveal who the most loving pet owners are and where they live.
The most loving pet owners in the UK (based on Pet Mother’s Day cards in 2021)
1) Margaret
2) Sarah
3) Susan
4) Sue
5) Helen
It’s not only those named Margaret who ensure their pets are well looked after though. People called Sarah clearly have a soft spot for their four-legged friends and received the second highest number of Pet Mother’s Day cards in 2021 as a show of appreciation for their love and devotion to their fur babies.
Those named Susan, Sue and Helen make up the rest of the top five.
Lancastrians are the most loving pet owners in the UK
The study also revealed where in the UK the most loving pet owners live. Having received more than a thousand Mother’s Day cards from pets last year, pet mums in Lancashire were found to be the most caring.

Kate Escott, Head of Product at Funky Pigeon, said: “More than 3 million households added a pet to their family in lockdown and after spending an increased amount of time with our pets over the past 2 years, it may come as no surprise to hear that sales of Mother’s Day cards from pets increased by a whopping 149% last year when compared to 2020.
“As a nation we really love our pets and Funky Pigeon wanted to give pet mum’s the opportunity to feel celebrated this Mother’s day. Whether it’s a cat, dog, rabbit or even a terrapin, all animal lovers can have a personalised card sent to them from their furry friends, which we hope will bring a smile to their faces.”
