Veterinarian reflections on exotic pets or NACs

Three renowned exotic animal veterinarians help us demystify the stereotypes surrounding the so-called New Animal Companion (NAC): are they good pets, are they legal, are they a health risk?

Exotic animal or pet?

Should we redefine these terms given the wide variety of animals that coexist in our homes?

We will explore the reasons why many people are choosing to keep animals other than traditional dogs and cats as pets. We will analyze how veterinarians, stores, breeders, and owners have changed their thinking to provide an excellent quality of life for these new companion animals.

We will also demystify some of the stereotypes surrounding these animals. We will look at how the media sometimes provides information that can lead to misinterpretations about legal animal ownership.

Our guests will also discuss zoonoses and explain the real risk of disease transmission from these animals compared to dogs and cats.

Guests:

Antonio Folch: Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Specialist in Exotic Animal Clinic and Member of the Board of Directors of FAUNA and SOHEVA Carlos López: Veterinarian for new pets and zoo animals and founder of the Maragall Exotics Clinic. Lorenzo Crosta: Veterinarian and professor at the University of Milan, specializing in birds.

I don't know if the PSOE and the parties that support it are clear about it or not, but what is certain is that if this law is approved as it has been presented, it will be a real catastrophe that will have extremely serious consequences in many areas.
