Code of Practice for the Housing of Dogs

The Code of Practice for the Housing of Dogs provides guidelines to ensure dogs are kept in safe, comfortable, and humane conditions. It covers aspects like appropriate space, temperature, cleanliness, and adequate shelter to meet their physical and behavioural needs. The regulations emphasize proper nutrition, regular exercise, social interaction, and veterinary care. The goal is to prevent neglect or cruelty, promote well-being, and ensure dogs are treated with respect and dignity. These standards aim to support responsible breeding, pet ownership, and kennel management, fostering healthy and happy lives for dogs in various housing environments.
