In addition to zoning, businesses are advised to instruct staff and inform customers about the established rules. This will help avoid conflict situations and ensure an appropriate level of hygiene. The experience of many Ukrainian enterprises proves that equipping special corners for warming animals in vestibules or separate technical rooms is an effective solution.
At the request of the public, many businesses have already organized warming places for homeless animals, which at the same time do not create risks for people and do not violate hygienic requirements. This indicates that combining animal care and compliance with legal requirements is quite realistic.
