Owning a pet can be an expensive business. From food to vet care, there are a range of obligatory outgoings, and with the soaring cost of living, many owners are worried about meeting the costs of looking after their pets.
According to a survey of 4,000 people carried out for the RSPCA, 78% of pet owners think the cost of living crisis will have a negative impact on their animals, while 68% said they were concerned that care costs were already increasing, and 19% said they were worried about how they would afford to feed their pets.
