Specialized pet diets cost more and are less likely donated, straining the organization’s budget
The BC SPCA is experiencing a significant increase in demand for specialized pet food at its community animal centres and through its pet food bank partners.
Specialized diets are often recommended by veterinarians for animals with allergies, kidney disease, or other medical conditions. “These specialized diets play an important role in keeping the animal healthy and may help in preventing issues that require veterinary intervention,” she said. “With everyone’s budgets so tight these days, being able to provide this food can make a huge difference and can help keep a pet with a family,” Waters said.
