pet care services take center stage in hot weather

Since the Lunar New Year, Ms. Pham Khanh Van (Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho City) has brought her pet to the spa for increasingly increased care. Explaining the reason, Ms. Van said that due to the hot weather, pets need to be bathed and trimmed regularly to avoid skin and fur diseases, especially heatstroke.

High demand has caused Ms. Van's monthly pet care costs to increase significantly. In addition to fixed expenses, Ms. Van estimates that the amount of money for pets to bathe, prune and stay has increased from 1.5 million VND to 2.2 million VND/month.

Every 1-2 weeks, I take my dog to a care service to prune her hair, avoid heat stroke in hot weather as well as have regular health check-ups, especially for skin and fur diseases. On days of long business trips, I even send my dog to a spa for accommodation in air conditioners, Ms. Van shared. See more...
