One statistical study suggests tht pet ownership is very high in Mexico. That sounds high to us. Perhaps the still large rural population and the relatively small number of apartments are factors. Income levels have risen in Mexico during recent years, in part because of NAFTA. And the middle-class has expanded, a good indicator of pet ownership. Many Mericans, however, have incomes far below American and European levels. And pet ownership can be be expensive, especially veternarian care. Mexico's economic progress have resulted in more veterarians opening up clinics, but there is a major problem with afordability as well refuges for stray animals. still Mexican law only classifies cats and dogs as pets. Some Mexicans also own birds. Here we mean paraquettes, not the fighting cocks that people keep. There do not seem to be a lot of other popular pets. Many owners can not aford to neuter their pets. Thus we see a lot stray animals, especially dogs, on city and town streets. Most middle class families can afiord to care for their pets, but often working-class parents can not. We have nt been able to find much information on pets in Mexico. An internet search yields most information for Americans desiring to take their pets with them into Mexico.
