Monday, May 8, 2023

WASHINGTON, May 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As inflation pushes prices higher, many families across the country are struggling to afford veterinary care, food and supplies for their beloved pets. Nowhere is this more acute than for families who were already experiencing systemic poverty. According to the latest consumer price index, the cost of pet products and services is up by more than 9% year over year. With more than 20 million pets living in poverty—a number three times greater than the number of pets entering shelters every year—this is a long overlooked national crisis. People are often forced to choose between meeting their own needs and the needs of their pets, and too often they completely lack access to veterinary care, pet inclusive housing, and other vital pet resources like food and supplies. No family should ever be in this position.

Key Points: 
  • To address this issue, the Humane Society of the United States has launched a new campaign called More Than a Pet, with the help of five campaign partners ADM , Smalls , Ollie , Motel 6 and TQL .
  • Kitty Block, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, said: "Everyone deserves to experience the love and companionship of a pet.
  • Volunteer with the Humane Society of the United States' Pets for Life and Rural Area Veterinary Services programs, which increase access to pet care for underserved communities.
  • Founded in 1954, the Humane Society of the United States fights the big fights to end suffering for all animals.
