In Zeng’s eyes, these dogs are like his children. “I’ve always dreamed of letting them run freely on vast (广阔的) grasslands with snow-capped mountains in the background,” Zeng said. As traveling with pets becomes more popular in China, related (相关的) services are also growing. Zhang Wei, who works on pet hiking, has organized about 180 pet trips since 2022. “Safety (安全) is the most important, and all the guides are trained to deal with emergencies in the mountains,” Zhang said. Before a trip, Zhang’s team asks pet owners to write something down about their dogs to provide a better service. At the same time, airlines have begun offering services for pet owners to travel across the country and even internationally. On June 14, China’s first outbound (出境的) flight allowing pets landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport after taking 18 pet dogs to Thailand. Though the pet tourism industry (旅游产业) still faces many challenges in China, people are expecting it can be better, experts said.
