Statute overview

About this statute

This regulation sets minimum welfare rules for keeping dogs and bans several practices, including continuous tethering, harmful collars and devices, selling puppies too young, and selling dogs at markets. Dogs brought into the business must be vaccinated immediately, puppies born there must be vaccinated by 12 weeks and before leaving, and certain businesses must keep dog records and maintain hygiene rules for feed and bowls. Businesses keeping dogs must keep specific records, allow inspection, and meet detailed hygiene, housing, space, and exercise requirements. Businesses caring for dogs must keep the housing suitable, ensure regular feeding/water access and daily contact, and meet inspection, veterinary, training, and information duties. Virksomheder må ikke vildlede forbrugere om kontrolresultater, og nogle virksomheder skal vise den seneste kontrolrapport på deres hjemmeside eller sociale medier.
