Petition Action

Review practice and introduce licensing and regulation for dog professionals

Petition Details

We want the government to review and strengthen legislation and licensing requirements for dog daycare, boarding, walking, and training services. Promote responsible business practices and provide dog owners with the reassurance that anyone caring for their pet meets the highest welfare standards.

Additional Information

We think the current lack of clear, enforceable standards is leaving dogs at risk and allowing unqualified, unregulated individuals to operate without adequate oversight. We believe that for too long, we have lacked robust, consistent regulations for dog professionals. We're concerned this gap may have placed countless dogs in dangerous situations, sometimes resulting in injury, trauma, or worse, due to the actions of unqualified and unregulated individuals.
