Video. WATCH: Mexican NGO offers free medical care on International Dog Day

Updated:

With more than half Mexican households owning a dog, a local NGO offered free medical care on Saturday to mark International Dog Day.

As part of International Dog Day, which has been celebrated in Mexico since 2012, an animal care agency in Mexico City held a fair to promote the health of our four-legged friends.

Its general director, Carlos Esquivel, says offering medical services and vaccination schedules for free or at a reduced cost, helps raise awareness about caring for pets and animals.

The latest figures show that 57 per cent of Mexican households share their space with a dog and 19 per cent have a cat.
