On September 29, the new Animal Welfare Law comes into force, requiring owners of all dogs to have civil liability insurance. Regardless of their size, race or age. From now on, you will not only have to take out third-party liability insurance for your dog, but you will also have to maintain it throughout the life of your pet. This type of insurance covers both personal damage (biting a person, for example) and material damage (destruction of property or materials). Coverage usually ranges from 60,000 to 300,000. A similar rule already exists in communities such as Madrid or the Basque Country. The cost of third-party liability insurance can range between 20 and 50 euros per year for small dogs, and between 50 and 100 euros for dogs considered “potentially dangerous.” If they do not have civil liability insurance, dog owners are exposed to fines that can range between €500 and €10,000. You can consult the full content of Law 7/2023, of March 28, on the protection of the rights and welfare of animals at this BOE link. Do you know how to identify your cat's meows? August 31, 2023 Published in Blog cat meows, types and characteristics Cats, also through body language, communicate with their meows. But... do you know how to recognize your cat's different meows and their meaning? Cats commonly use meows to communicate with humans.
They have different tones and vibrations, and there are as many types as there are cats. Of course, as a general guideline, the more intense the meow, the more intense the emotion it wants to convey. Experts give some basic guidelines to differentiate them. A short and soft meow is usually identified with a greeting, while a long or pronounced meow is associated with a call for attention or a claim. The latter can occur, for example, when they ask us for food or demand that a door be opened to access the room in which we are. Meows, types and meanings In addition to the basic CZ Leads differentiation between short meows for greetings and long meows for demands, we review other types: Short and continuous meows (repetition). They usually denote excitement or nervousness in our cat. When they are sharp and intense , they can mean that our cat is in pain, stress or fear. Sometimes they are identified with a pitiful cry.

Heat wave triggers ticks August 23, 2023 Published in Blog heat wave ticks The continuous heat waves we are experiencing this summer make ticks a growing problem, especially in homes with pets. Experts warn that climate change, with the progressive increase in temperatures, is not only extending the breeding season of ticks over time , but is also accelerating their metabolism . This causes them to be reproduced more times and over a longer period of time.
The National Association of Environmental Health Companies (ANECPLA) has recently warned that this week's extreme heat wave will “trigger” the tick infestation. ANECPLA has requested, through a statement, that “extreme precautions” be taken by the general population when going out to the countryside. Likewise, they have warned about the fact that the presence of ticks is increasingly less limited to the countryside and is increasingly spreading through parks and gardens in cities, where they can come into contact with mammals that act as reservoirs , such as rabbits, squirrels or rodents. If you have a dog at home, you have to be even more careful. Check your pets carefully after going outside. Above all, pay special attention to areas with folds (armpits, ears, neck...). And if you detect a tick it is very important that you remove it properly as soon as possible. You can find more information on how to do it in this article on our blog .
