Leaving Pets Alone in Mallorca: What the New Law Really Means

Answer

Does a camera or automatic feeder count as supervision for pets in Mallorca?

No, technical tools such as cameras or automatic feeders are not considered proper supervision under the current interpretation. The rules require active and effective care, which means a real person needs to check on the animal and provide appropriate contact. That is especially important for dogs, which need more than a brief visual check.
