Corona makes dog and cat popular
Almost half of households in the Netherlands have one or more pets. Because of corona, the number of households with a pet increased by about 150,000. About 80,000 households took a dog into their home since corona, for instance. A reason for Jaarbeurs to organise a new event: About Cats & Dogs. During the event, visitors will get information on nutrition, behaviour, care and animal welfare, among other things.

Experts share knowledge on handling, behaviour and care of dogs and cats
