Veterinary hospitals and clinics have experienced an influx of appointments since the start of the pandemic.
San Luis Obispo County Veterinarians said theyâre having to backlog appointments because there has been an increase of new pet owners during the pandemic.
At Animal Care Clinic in San Luis Obispo, theyâre seeing a 50% increase in pet owners coming in for appointments as people pay more attention to the health of their animals while working form home.
âWhat weâre seeing even more than an increased number of visits is clients wanting to do more for their pets. Theyâre wanting to go further with diagnostics and treatment,â Medical Director of Animal Care Clinic Dr. Bonnie Markoff said.
