Suncheon-si Expands Customized Programs for Companion Animals

Providing Time for Knowledge and Information Needed for Companion Living

Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Noh Gwan-gyu) announced that since June, the 'Companion Animal Culture Center' has partially opened facilities such as a pet shower room and indoor playgrounds (for medium/small dogs and large dogs), and has been operating various programs including basic courses on pet health management, homemade snacks, and basic grooming, receiving great responses.

Currently, enrollment for the July programs is open on a first-come, first-served basis until the 14th, and any citizens who own pets or prospective pet owners interested can participate in the programs through prior reservation by visit or phone.

However, pets must be registered and have completed comprehensive vaccinations to be allowed entry.

This program reflects feedback from participants of the program held in June and plans to operate one-day cultural courses such as making homemade snacks and creating grooming products using lavender.

In addition, to prepare for the summer heatwave, a basic health knowledge course for pets will be provided, along with sessions aimed at broadening intellectual understanding of companion animals, including conflict resolution measures to address prejudices and understanding regarding stray cats, which have recently caused social conflicts.

Lee Seon-hwa, Director of the Animal Resources Division of Suncheon City, said, “We plan to foster a mature companion animal-friendly city atmosphere, leading a social culture where people and pets coexist, and develop the area as a hub complex space for companion animals in the South Sea region.”
