Many pet owners affectionately refer to their dogs and cats as “fur babies,” a widely accepted term. However, a mom named Elizabeth Broadbent stirred controversy by arguing that it’s an insult to mothers, asserting that pets and babies are fundamentally different. This sparked a heated debate among pet owners. The American Kennel Club mentioned that pet-proofing involves various precautions, and Dr. Katy Nelson noted the growing trend of prioritizing pets in our lives. In essence, pet owners consider their animals family and stand by the term “fur baby” as an expression of love.
