This Morning's resident vet has shared how dog owners can keep costs down this winter, as many owners send their pets to shelters amid the cost of living crisis. Dr Scott Miller is encouraging owners to keep an eye on how much they're feeding their pets and reach out to charities - such as the RSPCA and the Blue Cross, if they're struggling to keep their food bowls topped up.
He told ITV News: "There are some amazing charities that are helping to keep pets healthy and well fed in their own homes. In my 25 years of experience as a clinical practising vet, unfortunately, up to 50 per cent of every pet I see is obese.
"It's because they are consuming too many calories. A great way to save money is to just cut out treats - either reduce them dramatically or cutting them out entirely.
