Over 86,000 people visit the ER each year from tripping or falling over their cat or dog

The worst downside of a cat or dog may be that they can actually cause you physical harm. It turns out that dogs and cats are responsible for 86,000 fall-related emergency room visits every year.

That's about 240 pet-related ER visits each day. They somehow get underfoot, they wrap the leash around you on a walk, they pull you down in their haste to chase a squirrel. Dogs rather than cats are usually the ones responsible for these falls.

The falls were more prevalent among children and middle-age people, but elderly people that fall are more likely to break a bone and take longer to recover.
