Animal welfare in turmoil due to high veterinary costs

In Utrecht, there is concern about the rising cost of veterinary care, a problem that affects both pet owners and aid organizations such as animal shelters and food banks. The Party for the Animals (PvdD) is urging the municipality to contact the national government to address this issue. Rising prices are making it unaffordable for many to provide their pets with the necessary care, leading to emotional distress among pet owners.
