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. During this time of economic crises, where buisnesses are collapsing and going under left, right and centre and making people redundant, our animal companions seem to be hit as well, as owners just can continue to cope with thier own bills of rent and then their pets food, veternary and insurance bills. Paying for hospical care such as animal cardiology 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 has bought this situation about? 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. Another problem is that people are moving into smaller accomidation, which dont allow pets to be kept.

Can animal hospitals cope with this sudden influx in vet referrals?

Animal charities and re-homing centres are close to bursting, now only willing to take the most severe of 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.

The light at the end of the tunnel is that January saw some shelters report a increase in people adopting animals, most animal charities are still seeing more animals arriving than going out.
