In 2019, Sweden passed an animal welfare law that governs the lives of domestic pets.
For example, did you know that a cat cannot be left alone all day without supervision?
A check-in at least twice a day
Whether it's for a weekend or a holiday, cat owners need to plan ahead.
As reported by Paris Match, cat owners are required to check on their pet's well-being at least twice a day.
This "check-up" allows them to see if the cat has eaten, has fresh water available, has any injuries, or if its behaviour has changed.
Who does the law apply to?
This legislation applies to Swedes, expatriates, and even tourists.
