Why UK owners got their pet from abroad 2021

Published by Emma Bedford, Aug 4, 2021
According to a survey of UK pet owners carried out in May 2021, almost one fifth of respondents stated that they got their pet from abroad as they specifically wanted to rescue a pet from outside the UK. Some 16 percent of respondents got their pet from abroad as the breed, color, or type of pet which they wanted was not available in the UK.
