Pet owners have been left struggling to pay for vet bills after the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals announced long waits for appointments. The organisation offers treatment to pets whose owners are on a lower income but they’ve faced difficulties following the surge in lock down pets.

Owners now have to make the decision between a long waiting list or paying out for these basic services. This causes issues for those who work in animal rescues, due to breeding caused by un-neutered pets.
