Complaints were sent to Boksburg SPCA because pet owners were denied medical care for their pets. The complaints came from owners who were found to afford private or public veterinary care for their animals. The Boksburg SPCA manager, Maggie Mudd, said that only owners who really cannot afford veterinary services can get assistance for veterinary services.

To avail services, owners must fill in an alimony form. It is a form that asks a person’s monthly income, expenditure, and how many dependants and animals they have. The rule applies to pensioners as well. “From this information, it is then possible for our staff to determine if a person can be assisted by the SPCA, or if they can actually afford to go to their local veterinary for the medical treatment that they are wanting,” Mudd said.
