I IDENTIFY YOU

 

 Identification is compulsory in France for cats and dogs. I respect the law by giving it an identity. This is proof of my commitment and an assurance of finding it in the event of loss, running away or theft.

I’M TAKING YOU ON VACATION WITH ME

I'M NOT MISTREATING YOU

 
Voluntarily or involuntarily, making an animal suffer is an act of cruelty punishable by law. If the disease exposes the animal to suffering, the veterinarian must do everything to relieve it.
