1. Mascotas como Fuente de Consuelo y Apoyo Emocional.
Durante los períodos de confinamiento y aislamiento, las mascotas se convirtieron en un pilar fundamental para la salud mental y emocional de muchas personas, ofreciendo compañía constante y un sentido de normalidad en tiempos inciertos.
- The fur babies are what kept me sane during the pandemic.
- One thing i do miss from the pandemic was working from home and having a purring cat constantly by my side, ready to heal me while i dealt with the world falling apart.
- Amazing how cats can make everything better. Leo and fluffy were born during the pandemic. They helped us get through it.
- My little guy helped me get through the pandemic. The entire world was miserable but i was in heaven thanks to him.
- Our cats became our therapy animals during the worst of the pandemic, and theyve generously continued in the role ever since.
2. El Fenómeno de las Adopciones Masivas.
La necesidad de compañía durante el trabajo remoto y el confinamiento impulsó un aumento sin precedentes en la adopción de mascotas, vaciando refugios y dando un nuevo hogar a innumerables animales.
- Then, all the shelters were empty because everyone working from home was adopting pets. Finally found chloe and riley.
- We adopted luna to help get us through this pandemic. She was the best thing that happened to us during those years.
- She could fit in the palm of my hand when i got her 3 years ago. Pandemic rescues. There were so many. Sad.
- Yep, this is exactly what happened five years ago when we were fully in the pandemic. I just wanted to go look at kittens.and just happened to bring a carrier with us. Maisie is 5 now and the love of our lives.
- In the depths of the pandemic i lost my damn mind and got a puppy.
3. Desafíos en la Socialización y Comportamiento.
Muchos "cachorros de pandemia" crecieron con una socialización limitada, lo que generó problemas de comportamiento y ansiedad una vez que sus dueños regresaron a la vida fuera del hogar.
- Starting with all those pandemic puppies. Insane to get a pet for a lockdown that was initially only supposed to be for 12 weeks.
- Plus pandemic puppy so like zero socialization. Our fault, so we will do everything to keep him safe even if it limits our life.
- Aww i have a pandemic dog too. He missed out on a lot of socializing as a puppy and to this day hes scared of humans.
- I miss the cats i had for almost 20 years as they could roll with most any schedule. My dog, we got during the pandemic he cannot deal lol.
- My cat who was a kitten before the pandemic and is still so confused by life after. Other humans? what?
4. El Aumento de Abandonos y la Crisis en Refugios.
A medida que las restricciones de la pandemia se levantaron y la vida volvió a la normalidad, muchos dueños se vieron abrumados por la responsabilidad, lo que llevó a un aumento preocupante en el abandono de mascotas y la saturación de los refugios.
- I cant help but think about how many fuck ass people abandoned their pets as lockdowns ended for the pandemic.
- All those pets adopted during the pandemic- people are giving back. This is why im an advocate on spaying and neutering.
- Its bad enough man people in the pandemic got themselves pets because they couldnt travel at that time after the travel bans got lifted again the noticed ohh with a pet i cant go on vacation so easy so they ditched them at shelters or just left them somewhere outside.
- Sadly there is going to be a dump of family pets that will make the list pandemic dump seem benign , it makes me weep.
- I despised the people who would adopt dogs and animals during the pandemic. But as soon as it ended they just gave the animals up, or gave them away.
5. El Impacto en la Atención Veterinaria y la Salud Animal.
La explosión de la población de mascotas y las interrupciones en los servicios veterinarios durante la pandemia generaron una crisis en la atención animal, con escasez de personal y aumento de costos.
- As a vet, i witnessed a surge in pet ownership during the pandemic then a consequent rise in stray and anxious cats.
- New pet owners face challenges accessing veterinary care, study finds during the covid-19 pandemic, as millions of people across the united states found themselves confined to their homes, a remarkable shift occurred in the realm of pet ownership.
- Its already nonstop. 2.7 million pets missed spayneuter during the pandemic, so millions of extra pets have been born.
- The pandemic was a nightmare for my cat. I couldnt get her food anywhere and she refused everything except chicken and rice or tuna and rice made fresh, poor girl eh lol.
- Every community seems to lack veterinarians these days, not only rural areas. And they lack veterinary support staff everywhere, as well. The industry has always had insane turnover rates, though. The pandemic didnt create the staffing issues it made them impossible to ignore any longer.
6. La Dolorosa Pérdida de Compañeros Peludos.
Para muchos, la pandemia coincidió con la pérdida de sus queridas mascotas, una experiencia que se hizo aún más difícil debido a las restricciones y el aislamiento de la época.
- So sorry to hear you lost your furry friend blaire i lost mine over the pandemic its still hard sometimes.
- The day he died which happened to be during the pandemic was the worst day of my life.
- Losing a pet is truly one of the most horrible feelings, my family and i had a dog called bramble who we sadly lost during the covid pandemic.
- I lost one during the pandemic and our vet wouldnt allow us in the building. It was horrible to see him being carried away knowing we wouldnt be there to say good bye.
- We had a cat for 18 years and lost him during the pandemic. They become such important companions, essential parts of the household.
