Ring reveals what our pets do at home when we are gone

Do you ever wonder what your pets get up to when you’re not home? Thanks to a recent survey from Ring, we have a better idea of what they do when we leave them for the day.

With May being National Pet Month, Ring is revealing some details about what cats and dogs do when their owners are away. Their findings are based on a survey of 1000 pet owners, and it reveals a number of things that our pets have been caught on camera doing.

So what are some highlights that we learned from the Ring survey? What have the ring cameras spotted our pets doing?

Ring reveals what pet owners have seen their pets doing on camera while they are away

Perhaps on surprisingly, 82 percent of the pet owners, who responded to the survey revealed that when they are not home, their pet gets up to mischief. And that mischief includes chewing on their shoes, and even going through the garbage.

Apparently, about 38 percent of both cat and dog parents are checking on their pet during the day using the Ring indoor camera. And two-thirds of the people who are checking on their pets revealed that they use the camera to speak to their pets to try and stop the trouble they are getting into.

Another thing that dog owners have said they have spotted on camera is their pet relieving themselves inside the house. Also, paper is apparently the nemesis of dogs. So yes, paper gets torn up. And if you’re wondering how innocent the cats are, well, they’re not. It seems that about 27 percent of cat owners have found damage to both furniture and woodwork in their homes. Plus, cats are also prone to going through the trash and it’s seems that they also have a thing against paper.

We love the fact that the Ring camera allows us to monitor what our pets are doing at home and potentially talk to them to stop them from causing mischief. Honestly, we also love what we’ve learned about our pets behavior when we leave them for the day.
