Mexico Has A Serious Stray Dog Problem

In Mexico, it is estimated that seven out of ten households have a pet, of which 80% are dogs. According to the National Population Council (CONAPO).

In Mexico there is no census of companion animals or pet ownership. However, the Mexican Association of Veterinary Professionals of Minor Breeds (Ammvepe) estimates that there are around 28 million pets in the country.

More than 23 million are dogs and cats, of which 30% come from homes and the remaining 70% live on the street.

In our country, about half a million dogs and cats are abandoned each year. In most cases they are bought as Christmas, Epiphany or Valentine’s gifts, but after a few months the owners lose interest in them, explains Emmanuel Pedraza, general director of the Association of Animal Departments.
