West Lothian Scotmid branches have donated Pet Aid boxes to the Scottish SPCA’s initiative to support people and pets who are struggling during the cost-of-living crisis.
The boxes include essential food and care supplies for animals in need and are provided through a network of 33 foodbanks across Scotland.
In 2022, calls to the Scottish SPCA more than trebled. Most people give up their pets as a very last resort, when they feel there is no other option, with the decision often linked to the cost of looking after them.
