Innovation, Pets and Animal Welfare Act

Invited experts

What would you answer if I asked you about one of the greatest loves you have in your life that couldn't be a person? I am sure that all of you who have pets have thought about them. The fact is that the love that our furry friends transmit to us is unique.

The presence of pets in Spanish homes

Currently, in Spain there are more than 20 million pets, and it seems that this number continues to rise.

Pets are much more than just companions or companions, and the thing is that 8 out of 10 families consider their pet to be just another member of this one. They are so present in our lives that practically half of Spanish households have at least one.

In fact, in Spain, since 2021, the number of pets in Spanish homes has surpassed the number of children under 14 years of age.

What about the Animal Welfare Act?

Today we are going to explore several topics related to our life partners. On the occasion of the update of the Animal Welfare Act, which is due to enter into force soon, we focus on highlighting some fundamental points of the new law. For this purpose, our partner will be with us Luis Enrique González Gómez, specialist in legal advice for product development in Santalucía. Luis Enrique will provide us with your knowledge about this new requirement and the updating of the law.

In addition, we will have the honor of connecting with Jorge Martínez, president of Hoope, an animal protection association dedicated to animal rescue.
