Today to***co addiction represents 1.1 billion users worldwide and kills more than 8 million of them every year, 1.2 million of whom are non-smokers.
Smoking is not just a danger to your health, but also to the people around you and especially to our dearest friends: our pets. If you smoke, you may cause your dog to develop cancer by inhaling smoke from your cigarette. Long-nosed breeds develop cancer of the nose and sinuses more frequently, while flat-faced breeds are more at risk for lung cancer. Cats, which groom themselves daily by licking their fur, may ingest ni****ne, tar, and other toxic substances that cause mouth cancer. Think of them!

Considering adopting a furry friend? Here are some tips to make sure you're ready for the paw-some responsibility! 🐶🐱
🏠 Pet-proof your place: Say goodbye to your favorite shoes and low-hanging plants! Pets love to explore, so make sure your space is safe and secure.
💰 Budget for the fur-tunate expenses: From food to vet visits, owning a pet can get pricey. Make sure you're financially prepared for those unexpected "treat yo'self" moments at the pet store.
🕰️ Time to commit: Forget hitting snooze! Pets need your time and attention. Are you ready for early morning walks and late-night cuddle sessions?
🐾 Personality match: Are you more of a couch potato or a go-getter? Choose a pet that fits your lifestyle and energy level. It's all about finding your furry soulmate!
🤔 Think long-term: Pets are for life, not just for Insta! Before you commit, consider how your life might change in the next decade. Are you ready for the long haul?
Remember, adopting a pet is a big decision, but with a little preparation and a lot of love, it's the start of a beautiful friendship! 🐾❤️

🐾 Did you know about the fascinating Ragdoll cat breed? 🐱
Originating in California in the 1960s, Ragdolls are known for their laid-back personalities and striking blue eyes. 🌟
They got their name because they tended to go limp like a "ragdoll" when picked up, making them perfect companions for people looking for a relaxed, affectionate pet. Whether you're an active professional or a family with kids, Ragdolls thrive on human interaction and love being part of the family. Have you ever met or owned a Ragdoll?

Pet lovers, a big achievement has been made regarding animal welfare in Belgium!
Belgium officially becomes the 6th Member State of the European Union to give constitutional protection to animals thereby joining Luxembourg, Italy, Germany, Slovenia and Austria.
Article 7bis of the Belgian Constitution now reads as follows: ‘In the exercise of their respective powers, the Federal State, the Communities and the Regions shall ensure the protection and welfare of animals as sentient beings’.
Another step towards respect for all animals ! ❤

En janvier 2012, nous avons décidé d’adopter un chien. Nous nous sommes donc rendus dans un refuge près de chez nous. C’est ainsi que Gus – un adorable Münsterländer de 11 mois – a rejoint notre famille. Gus fut un véritable coup de foudre, mais nous avons vite réalisé que l’amour seul n’était pas suffisant pour élever un chien.
Si l’on peut toujours contacter un vétérinaire en matière de santé, de nombreuses autres questions sont apparues rapidement concernant notamment le dressage, la croissance, l’alimentation. Des questions qui nécessitent des recherches fastidieuses pour enfin tomber sur des réponses pertinentes. L’approche des vacances fut également une source d’angoisse avec la difficulté de trouver un bon dog-sitter. On peut faire confiance à son chien, mais pas forcément tout le monde.
Il manquait quelque chose – le soutien d’une communauté à qui l’on pouvait faire confiance et qui aimait les animaux, autant que nous aimions Gus. Des gens impliqués qui pouvaient nous apporter de vrais conseils. La nécessité de cette communauté est devenue plus évidente encore quand nous avons dû déménager pour des raisons professionnelles. D’une maison à la campagne... à un appartement en ville. Parce que pour nous, il était juste impensable de remettre Gus dans un refuge.
C’est la raison pour laquelle nous avons lancé Mopets en 2019. Une plateforme unique où les amis des animaux peuvent se retrouver et s’entraider.

In januari 2012 hebben we besloten om een hond te nemen. Na een rondleiding door het nabijgelegen dierenasiel kozen we Gus - een schattige 11 maanden oude Münsterländer. Hij werd al snel een lid van onze familie. Met Gus was het liefde op het eerste gezicht, maar we beseften al snel dat liefde niet genoeg was om een hond groot te brengen.
Hoewel we altijd bij een dierenarts terecht konden voor gezondheidsvragen, ontstonden er al snel veel andere vragen rond training, groei en voeding, onder andere. Vragen die grondig onderzoek vereisten. De naderende vakantie was ook een bron van stress, mede door de moeilijkheid om een goede hondenoppas te vinden. Want je eigen hond kan je vertrouwen, maar hetzelfde kan niet noodzakelijk van mensen worden gezegd.
Er ontbrak iets - de steun van een gemeenschap waar we op konden vertrouwen en die zo gek was op dieren als wij op Gus. Toegewijde mensen die ons echt advies kunnen geven. De behoefte aan een dergelijke gemeenschap werd nog belangrijker omdat we verhuisden om professionele redenen. Van een huis op het platteland naar een appartement in de stad. Terwijl het voor ons ondenkbaar was om Gus in een asiel te zetten.
Daarom lanceerden we Mopets in 2018. Een uniek platform waar fans van huisdieren elkaar kunnen ontmoeten en helpen.

In January 2012, we decided to adopt a dog. We therefore visited a nearby shelter. This is how Gus - an adorable 11 month old Münsterländer - became a member of our family. With Gus, it was love at first sight, but we soon realised that love alone wasn’t enough to raise a dog.
While we could always contact a vet with any health-related issues, many other questions quickly arose in relation to training, growth and diet, among others. Questions that required lengthy research before finding the relevant answers. Approaching holidays were also a source of anxiety with the difficulty of finding a good dog sitter. While you can trust your own dog, the same cannot necessarily be said for people.
Something was missing - the support of a community that we could trust and that loved animals, as much as we loved Gus. Dedicated people who could give us genuine advice. The need for such a community became increasingly obvious when we had to move house for work reasons. From a house in the country... to an apartment in the city. Because for us, the idea of putting Gus in a shelter was unthinkable.
This is why we launched Mopets in 2019. A unique platform where animal lovers can come together and help each other.
