Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/19/2012 -- As the economic gloom continues to bite and hard-working families all over the USA continue to tighten their belts it's easy to overlook the fate of the nation's pets.

Caring for an estimated 78 million dogs and 86 million cats is an increasing burden for many cash-strapped owners and animal shelters throughout the country are bursting at the seams with pets whose owners sadly find they can no longer afford the ever-increasing costs of their upkeep.

Despite the recession the cost of foods, pet care and veterinary fees continue to rise leaving hard-pressed pet lovers in a seemingly impossible dilemma: how to look after their beloved pets the way they deserve?
