Pet owners are legally required to meet a standard of care that ensures the well-being of their animals.
For pet owners, this means providing for all aspects of a dog’s welfare, including a suitable environment, a suitable diet, appropriate housing, the ability to exhibit natural behaviour, and protection from pain, injury, suffering, and disease.
Further regulations apply to commercial breeding settings. These cover licensing, advertising, sales practices, and maintaining high standards for breeding premises to ensure ethical and responsible care.
Lucy’s Law helps protect both dogs and buyers by preventing the sale of puppies from puppy farms through third parties.
