ManxSPCA urges people to consider long-term costs before gifting pets.
A Manx animal welfare charity has urged people to consider the long-term cost of pets before giving them as gifts.
Around 30% of dogs and cats in the ManxSPCA's care this year have had to be rehomed because the owners could not afford to keep them.
General manager Juana Warburton said the animals' basic vet bills could be?450 a year, on top of daily needs.
The charity has also seen a trend of puppies bought during the pandemic being put up for adoption, she added.

As people return to regular working patterns, and spend less time at home, some owners with two-year-old dogs had reached the point where they "just can't cope" with the responsibility, Ms Warburton said.
The ManxSPCA kennels have cared for about 50 dogs and puppies in 2022, meanwhile about 400 cats and kittens have been looked after in the cattery.
