The company said that pets are lifelong partners, not disposable accessories and that people who have them are obligated to raise them for their entire life, basically. So they are giving the equivalent of $9 a month for workers who have cats and dogs. It doesn't say if that is total or per pet.
The article referenced another Japanese company (a pet food company of all things!) who offers paid leave when a pet passes away.
Interesting little news article.
