By July 13, animal lovers can hand over their voices and actively participate in this exciting choice.

Among the nominees is Scotty, a small Münsterländer who, in the truest sense of the word, saved his owner. The story about Scotty shows how important the bond is between humans and animals and stimulates participation in the vote, as Meinverkirk reports.

But that's not all: the Fressnapf chain has also launched the "golden Fressnapf" in order to honor special contributions in the field of animal protection. In an exciting pre -selection, a jury of over 150 projects chose the six overall most outstanding in the animal welfare category. The winners can not only look forward to the prestigious price, but also a prize money of CHF 5,000 each. This shows that the commitment to the well -being of the animals is more than ever appreciated, such as Fressnapf.

animal welfare and animal welfare in focus

The topic of animal welfare is currently being discussed intensively. Especially in today's world, where more and more people pay attention to the species -appropriate attitude of their pets and animals in general, it is important to recognize and respect the needs of animals.

• freedom of hunger and thirst
• Freedom of posture -related complaints
• Freedom of pain, injury or illness
• Freedom of normal living out species -specific behavior
• Freedom of fear and stress

Consumers are increasingly value on these standards. To illustrate this, statistics show that around 34 million pets are kept in Germany, with the dog being the most popular pet. Awareness of animal welfare is growing because more and more people are ready to pay more for animal-friendly products, as well as the statistics on Statista.
