The Rise of Pet Ownership in the UAE
The UAE has witnessed a remarkable surge in pet ownership over the last five years, with a 25 per cent increase in the number of pet owners. This trend is largely attributed to the growing awareness of the importance of animal welfare and the increasing popularity of pets as companions.
The Problem of Irresponsible Pet Ownership
The pet industry is a multi-billion dollar market, with millions of pets being cared for by their owners. However, with the rise of pet ownership comes the responsibility of providing proper care and attention to these animals. Unfortunately, many pet owners are not taking this responsibility seriously, leading to a range of problems. Irresponsible pet ownership can lead to animal cruelty, neglect, and abandonment.
This move aims to increase trust among pet owners and provide them with peace of mind.
