No one ever pretended that shopping for anything is a rational experience. If it were, would there be Fluffernutter? Laceless sneakers? Porkpie hats? Would the Chia Pet even exist?
— Jeffrey Kluger
A pet store is a celebration of dogs' existence and an explosion of options. About cats, a pet store seems to say, 'Here, we couldn't think of anything else.' Cats are the Hanukkah of the animal world in this way. They are feted quietly and happily by a minority, but there's only so much hoopla applicable to them.
— Sloane Crosley
My big pet peeve with people posting food - and I love it when people post food - but my number one thing is when you're posting at a restaurant, and it's dark, like a date night, food never looks good.

— Chrissy Teigen
I need to be able to be at a gig and just put my bag on the floor and not worry about it being stood on or getting ruined. You want a bag that can go through anything. And a little bit of softness is always lovely. If I don't have a dog, I can just pet my bag!

Some men over-tweeze their eyebrows, and it's just too perfect. Men are meant to have kind of a bushy brow. Too much aftershave is also off-putting; it's one of my pet hates.
— David Beckham
It's a little known fact that one in three family pets gets lost during its lifetime, and approximately 9 million pets enter shelters each year.

In their heyday, the Pet Shop Boys were the Interpol of the Eighties, dressing up to sing really weird pop songs about lust and loneliness in the big city.

— Rob Sheffield
One of the most obvious ways dogs can improve our physical and mental health is via daily walks.

— Karan Johar
We have a habit of turning to scientists when we want factual answers and artists when we want entertainment, but where are the facts about the nature of the self? Neurologists peering at PET scans and fMRIs know they aren't seeing the soul in there.

Our pets rely on us entirely for their nutrition. So if you're making your own judgments, that could lead to a mistake.

— Alison Sweeney
All writers have their own pet commandments.
— Darin Strauss
I love animals. I just don't want to have a pet. That's OK, right? I would take a dog over a cat, at least to interact with you. I feel like cats just stare you down all the time. Cats have, like, bad attitudes.

— Rachael Ray
I have a lot of trouble understanding how people see me as a celebrity. I work 14 hours a day, and then I just want to talk to my family, see the people I love, pet my dog, and go to bed. I'm not looking to be best friends with or emulate a celebrity.
— America Ferrera

I'm a dog person, but I don't have a pet.
— Timothy Simons
I think you can totally be a totally normal kid from the suburbs of Chicago and go off and play shows.

— Loretta Swit
I have a little bit of a pet peeve about how the middle class is depicted in movies. I feel like they tend to be either depicted in a very sentimental way, where everybody has a heart of gold except for the villains you're supposed to hiss at, or there's a sort of indie-style version... When it's done well, it's brilliant, it's 'Blue Velvet.'
— Greg Mottola
One of my biggest pet peeves is when a guy's wearing flip-flop sandals, which I don't understand.

I don't understand it.
— Sebastian Maniscalco
My parents were very permissive when it came to animals. As long as we earned the money to buy them and built whatever structure it was they were going to live in, we could have any kind of pet we wanted. They would have let us have a rhinoceros if we could have afforded it.

Ill-fitted T-shirts stretched over a gut are my pet hate. And if the colour's faded - ugh.

— Jojo Moyes
If you're trying to cut down the distance travelled from the farm to your plate, it makes sense to do the same for your pet. If we all shifted our bias towards sustainable pet food, we would be helping more than just our faithful friends.

Though each trainer believes his or her method is best, I don't think it matters which method the pet owner adopts so long as that owner finds a capable mentor and sticks with the training.

— Donald McCaig

I could never date a guy with a pet snake.
— Genesis Rodriguez

My biggest pet peeve is when people don't admit what they've done.

— Jim O'Heir

— Brooke Nevin
