- In recent years, not only has the number of pet owners in Singapore gone up, they are also getting more attached to their beloved animals
- Because many now see their pets as part of their family, they spare no expense in caring and providing for them
- This has sparked an industry of non-traditional services for pets, such as palliative care, bespoke funeral arrangements as well insurance and estate planning services
- Despite this, pet owners and advocates say Singapore’s pet ecosystem still has some gaps pertaining to workplace policies, public transport and pet care services
- They also offer some suggestions, including compassionate leave for pet owners when their pets die and more regulations around pet services
