Dogs and cats are full members of the family. However, every year as the holidays approach, pet owners face the same problems: can we take them to the holiday destination? Are they accepted and if so, under what conditions? If taking them is not possible, which childcare solution to choose? What services are available in the area?”
” 57% of French people will not take their pet on holiday this summer!
Alas, too many masters do not even ask themselves these questions and simply end up abandoning their 4-legged companions! These renunciations related to the departure on summer holidays represent a large part of the 80,000 to 100,000 abandonments recorded each year in France. According to a study conducted by the IFOP for Mars Petcare France*, 57% of French people will not take their pet on holiday this summer.”
