Pets as a Member of the Family: Social Work and 24-Hour Care for Animals

With the passage of time, animals have become another member of the family, requiring all the care that entails, including health coverage. This is what happens in the **Autonomous City of Buenos Aires**, where a **medical coverage plan** for dogs and cats is in place.

The health service in CABA includes **100% free veterinary consultations**, as well as offering a complete **annual vaccination plan**, along with **discounts on services and products** from pet shops.

To receive the necessary care, each affiliate must have their personalized card and access to a web system for **appointments and benefits**.

The costs of this **prepaid medicine** for these four-legged companions start at 35,560 pesos for one pet, 62,230 for two, 88,900 for three, 106,700 for four, and 124,460 for five animals.

## **Health service in CABA, 24-hour care in Greater Buenos Aires**

The Buenos Aires capital offers another equally important service as health care: **24-hour veterinary care**. This is possible thanks to the different veterinary clinics in La Plata that operate throughout the day, some even during business hours.

These places have **small consulting rooms, hospitals with operating rooms, and permanent emergency services** that are part of a care network for pets in the district.

## **A Family Boarding House in City Bell**

In City Bell, something similar happens, but with a different approach. In this case, it is no longer a hotel, but rather a **family boarding house for dogs**, where pets socialize with hosts of the same species and enjoy a **closed park**.

To ensure personalized care, the place does not host more than five or six animals at the same time. Here, guests rest on individual **hypoallergenic mattresses**, in the boarding house’s kitchen, or in rooms in case of storms or fireworks, to provide them with a greater sense of security.

During the day, visitors enjoy **outdoor games**, breaks, **trips to the park**, lunch, and dinner. It is important to note that each owner must bring their pet’s food, as the place aims to avoid inconveniences and sudden changes in their daily diet.
