Table 6. Factors (age, gender, living alone or not, income, insurance, species and LAPS) associated with pet owners’ attitudes towards advanced veterinary care (AVC) in small animal practice and willingness to enrol pet in clinical research in Austria, Denmark and the UK.

		STATEMENTS
PREDICTORS	COUNTRY	My pet should have access to the same treatment options that are available to human patients	I would enrol my pet in a research study to help advance veterinary care as long as the risk of potential complications was low	The advanced care available in modern veterinary medicine has gone ‘too far’ putting animals through ‘too much’	The advanced care available in modern veterinary medicine is unnecessary–animals should not be treated in the same way as humans
Age	Austria	n/s	Younger more likely to agree p = 0.006	n/s	n/s
	Denmark		Younger more likely to agree p = 0.002	Older more likely to agree p = 0.007	Older more likely to agree p<0.001
	UK		Younger more likely to agree p<0.001	Younger more likely to agree p<0.001	Younger more likely to agree p<0.001
Gender	Austria	n/s	n/s	n/s	Males more likely to agree (p<0.001)
	Denmark			Females more likely to agree than males (p = 0.030)	n/s
	UK	Males less likely to agree than females (p = 0.035)		n/s	Males more likely to agree (p = 0.001)
Live alone or not	Austria	n/s	n/s	n/s	n/s
	Denmark			n/s	n/s
	UK			Live alone = more likely to agree (p = 0.036)	Live alone = more likely to agree (p = 0.008)
Income	Austria	n/s	n/s	n/s	n/s
	Denmark	Low (p = 0.040) and middle (p = 0.006) more likely to agree cf high	n/s	n/s	n/s
	UK	Middle (p = 0.016) less likely to agree cf high	No info (p = 0.019), low (p = 0.016) middle (p<0.001) less likely to agree cf high	Middle less likely to agree (p = 0.004)	Low (p = 0.042) and middle (p<0.001) were less likely to agree cf high
Insurance	Austria	n/s	Yes–more likely to agree (p<0.001)	Yes–more likely to agree (p = 0.001)	Yes–more likely to agree (p<0.001)

LAPS	Austria	Higher LAPS = more likely to agree p<0.001	Higher LAPS = more likely to agree p<0.001	Higher LAPS = more likely to agree p = 0.012	Lower LAPS = more likely to agree (p<0.001)
