With people spending more time at home, animal adoptions surged during the pandemic. Now, veterinary clinics are feeling the impact of all those new pets, reporting longer wait times and a spike in emergency visits.
Dr. Kiko Bracker, director of emergency and critical care at the MSPCA’s Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston, told Boston.com the clinic is seeing a significant increase in requests for appointments, with weeks and months long bookout times, and longer waits for emergency walk-in services.
He believes these impacts are partly due to less experienced pet owners and partly to the increase in pets, especially younger animals.
