The Scottish SPCA has launched a new initiative to support people and pets struggling due to the cost-of-living crisis.
Calls to the animal welfare charity's helpline to give up animals have more than trebled in the first half of 2022 and inspectors have provided support to thousands of people and their animals struggling to cope.
Now their new Pet Aid pilot will see regular deliveries of pet food commence this week to Hamilton District Foodbank, meaning Pet Aid is available to people in South Lanarkshire.
