Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province will hold the 'Pet Harmony Festival' on the 5th of next month at the Bucheon City Hall Lawn Plaza.

This event is composed of ▲Pet Culture School ▲Pet Sports Day ▲Experience Programs, designed to establish a healthy pet culture and offer programs that pet owners and their pets can enjoy together. In particular, to enhance satisfaction with the event, convenience facilities such as separate playgrounds for small dogs and medium-to-large dogs, as well as pet restrooms, have been prepared.

With the recent continuous increase in pet-owning households, campaigns promoting pet etiquette to ease conflicts between pet owners and non-pet owners, campaigns for stray cat protection, and adoption campaigns for lost and abandoned animals will also be conducted to improve awareness of animal welfare.

Additionally, with active participation from animal-related organizations and groups, there will be pet emergency care sessions with experts, one-on-one health consultations, training consultations, grooming consultations, and free basic grooming services.
