The Municipality of Querétaro has launched a permanent campaign to promote responsible pet ownership through the introduction of geolocation tags. Announced by Mayor Felifer Macías, the initiative allows owners to track their pets' real-time location via smartphone. The initial phase includes the distribution of 500 collar-attached tags, managed by the Secretariat of Animal Welfare alongside existing services such as vaccination, sterilization, and microchip identification.

Complementing these municipal efforts, local pet care services in the region provide grooming, food, and accessories. Animal behavior specialists have also emphasized safety guidelines for pet owners, advising on proper walking techniques to reduce canine stress and prevent health issues like heatstroke.
