San Diego Humane Society President Dr. Gary Weitzman opens up about how a lack of staffing has led to the animal shelters struggling to keep up with demand.
Empty exam tables inside the Pilar and Chuck Bahde Center for Shelter Medicine at the San Diego Humane Society might seem like a good thing -- if only it had to do with a shortage of animals needing homes instead of a lack of workers needed to care for them.
San Diego Humane Society President Dr. Gary Weitzman said it's a small example of the larger crisis in veterinary medicine. "It's so much harder to deliver services than it was before the pandemic," said Weitzman."We're just trying to keep up." Due to shrinking veterinary college class sizes, the industry can't backfill fast enough to keep up with what seems to be rising demand. Weitzman said more Americans spending time at home during the pandemic led to many getting new pets and others paying more attention to their pets' health.
