Research from Tesco Pet Insurance has revealed how cats and dogs can suffer from health conditions normally associated with humans.

Not only can dogs suffer from depression in the Winter, but insurance claim figures from the company show that anorexia was prevalent in 737 cats and 428 dogs; 11 cats and 56 dogs had behavioural problems; while 18 dogs had treatment for OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder).

Other conditions you’d be more used to seeing in a Doctor’s surgery as opposed to a Veterinary surgery include heart murmurs (1118 dogs); ear infections (3661 dogs); allergies (267 cats; 954 dogs) and cystitis (1363 feline cases).
