Introduction: Pets contribute positively to human mental and physical health outcomes but can also impose financial obligations and personal responsibilities that may impede pet owners from accessing healthcare services, especially by restricting access to inpatient and long-term care. This preliminary study investigates the complex interplay between pet ownership and healthcare access and compliance through the perspective of physicians, exploring how pets influence their patients’ health.
