Millions of Brits fear they don’t have the cash to continue looking after their cats and dogs as they struggle to pay for pet food and insurance amid persistent cost-of-living pressures.
More than one in five (21%) pet owners, amounting to 5.3 million people nationwide, are worried they can no longer afford the upkeep of their pets, according to a study by Opinium commissioned by Tesco Bank, while nearly half (49%) of dog owners and over a third (36%) of cat owners say prices rises have impacted how much they spend on their furry friend.
