Unstable weather, pet care services should be provided
In the face of changes in weather, Ms. Le Hanh Nguyen (Ninh Kieu ward, Can Tho city) said that she often takes her pet dogs to animal spas to use services such as bathing, barbering and general health check-ups.

"Inorganic weather, sometimes harsh sunshine, sometimes prolonged rain, can easily cause pets to develop skin fungus or fur diseases. Therefore, I prioritize taking my baby for regular check-ups and care. Each trip can cost hundreds of thousands, even up to a million VND if there are health problems" - Ms. Nguyen shared.
Ms. Nguyen estimates that the cost of caring for her pet in recent months has increased by about 1.5 million VND/month. For her, this is a necessary investment to protect the health of pets and the whole family. If not prevented, the cost of treatment may be much more expensive. See more...
