Abstract
This collaborative research project, funded by the Scottish SPCA and the Blue Cross, aimed to examine challenges pet owners in Scotland were facing with their pets following Covid-19. The work involved an online survey of pet owners who were experiencing challenges caring for their pets. Results revealed a range of challenges from financial to behavioural, and also shone a light on the challenging issue of pet relinquishment, loss and bereavement. The results informed the creation of support for Scottish pet owners offered by the charities including the newly formed Scottish SPCA's Pet Aid Service.
