The Co-operative Insurance has done some very in-depth and important research to determine the fate of pets.
The insurance company looked at thousands of claims and correlated the data to determine which names lead to doom. It appears dogs named Alfie and Charlie are the unluckiest, while cats named Oscar or George are the most frequent insurance claimants.
The top ten unlucky dog names are:
- Alfie
- Charlie
- Bella
- Molly
- Ruby
- Max
- Archie
- Poppy
- Rosie
- Daisy
And cats:
- Oscar
- George
- Alfie
- Charlie
- Leo
- Molly
- Max
- Willow
- Harry
- Henry
Cat insurance claims were most commonly road traffic accidents, with gingivitis (a dental issue) also being common. Owners of domestic crossbreeds are more likely to claim than any other followed by those who own a British shorthair, Maine Coon, Bengal and Siamese.
The most claimed for condition for dogs is lameness with issues relating to the ears also common. Labrador owners are most likely to make a claim followed by owners of crossbreeds, Cocker Spaniels, German Shepherds and Bulldogs.
