China conquered by pets: millions of dogs and cats spoiled as children. But someone chooses alpacas and chinchillas

BEIJING. Gourmet foods, beauty treatments, massages, toys and the latest fashion accessories. Even dating apps to find a soul mate. What the Chinese would not do for the welfare of their four-legged friends. Dogs and cats, above all, even if lately the demand is shifting more and more towards geckos, hedgehogs, marmots, alpacas (on the streets of Beijing they too can be seen walking on a leash) and chinchillas.
