Is The Credit Crunch Affecting Our Pets?
Animal charities and sussex vets have noticed that the Credit crunch is now taking it’s toll on our fluffy friends.
Animal charities are seeing a dramatic increase in the number of dogs and cats being borught into their shelters, with owners simply unable to afford them. In this time of economic downturn where buisnesses are crumbling all around us, our animal companions seem to be being hit just as hard as us, as owners struggle with their own bills as well as their pets. Paying for hospical care such as animal dermatology is expensive and people just cannot afford it. The loving family pets are being left at animal shelters or left in the middle of no-where to look after themselves.
So what have been the contributions to this dire set of circumstances? Spare a thought for all those animals who were bought as xams presents0 more so this year. Families that could afford that new puppy suddenly cant due to redundancy, and rover’s looking at the chop. Some people are being forced out of their homes into smaller places which dont allow pets to be kept.
Can animal hospitals cope with this sudden influx in vet referrals?
Alot of animal charities and re-homing centres are close to full, now unfortunetly only taking in the most severe of emergency cases. Animal shelters are recieving less donations to, with the credit crunch tightening people’s belt and charities all round getting less handouts as people struggle to save themselves.
Though on the upside for our furry pals, January saw some charities reporting that January saw a rise in the number of people ADOPTING from animal shelters, but most shelters are still seeing more animals coming in then going out to a loving home.
