The Cost of Having a Pet
Manage episode 463059365 series 1301226
There are 36 million pets in the UK, which doesn't include fish and other aquatics, and the cost of owning one can add up.
One of the biggest bills a pet owner can face is the price of taking their animal to the vet.
The Competition and Markets Authority launched an investigation earlier this year into whether people are paying too much and whether they are getting information about treatment options. It says the 'unprecedented response' it's had shows the strength of feeling.
Aside from that, there's the general cost of care like food and heating bills.
This week Felicity Hannah is joined by Dr. Elizabeth Mullineaux, dog owner, vet and current president of the British Veterinary Association and by Lisa Webb, dog and cat owner and senior lawyer at the consumer organisation Which?
We also hear from an award winning dog breeder, a cat and rabbit rescue centre and even head to a dog Christmas party - although we must point out, a pet is for life, not just for the festive season.
Presenter: Felicity Hannah Producer: Sarah Rogers Editor: Jess Quayle
