Veterinarian Jacqueline Chevalier says the COVID-19 pandemic created many challenges for her and her staff at Merritts Creek Veterinary Center near Barboursville. “There was an increase of people with new pets wanting to come in, but we also had a decrease in staff that was willing to work during the worst days of the pandemic,” she said. “So it created some real challenges for us here.” Approximately 12.6 million U.S. households got a new pet last year after the pandemic was declared in March 2020, according to a COVID-19 Pulse Study by the American Pet Products Association. Meanwhile, fewer people relinquished their pets in 2020, so they needed ongoing care, experts said.
