WE’VE had the pandemic, the ‘pingdemic’, could we be facing a ‘puppydemic’? The lockdowns due to coronavirus meant more people were buying pets and puppies. In March, it was announced that a total of 3.2 million households in the UK have acquired a pet since the start of the pandemic, according to the Pet Food Manufacturers Association. But many are now being sold. Within a five-mile radius of Warrington, 242 pets are up for sale on Pets4Homes, and that upsets Rebeckah Vaughan, owner of No More Kennels on Riverside Trading Estate. “Many people thought that the lockdown period was a good time to get a puppy as they thought it would be the perfect time to train a puppy,” she said.
