Under the title 'Marbella Pet Friendly', the local council and the Marbella Canina association have organized a congress dedicated to promoting knowledge, awareness, and training regarding animal welfare and responsible pet ownership. The event will take place on the upcoming 12th at 19:00 hours at the Adolfo Suárez Palace of Fairs and Congresses and will have free entry with prior online registration. "This is a pioneering congress in the city, aimed at educating the public on important aspects they need to know about their pets," pointed out the Health Councilor, Alejandro González.

The day will include three lectures given by professionals in the field. The first talk will be led by veterinarian Ramón Fernández, from Artemis clinic, who will discuss how to act in an emergency. Subsequently, the head of Marbella Canina, Sergio Moya, will give a lecture on the formula for having a balanced dog and a happy owner, focusing on training techniques and solving behavior problems. Finally, a representative from the local police canine unit will discuss regulatory and urban coexistence aspects, addressing issues such as the use of muzzles, the collection of excrement, or the regulations for potentially dangerous breeds.
