Nearly half of EU households have a furry friend!

Across the EU, animal welfare standards for professional breeding, keeping and selling #dogs and #cats vary widely – resulting in sub-standard practices, sometimes even abuse.

We are introducing uniform rules:
✔ Setting minimum standards
✔ Tightening traceability for online sales to curb illegal trade
✔ Training for handlers and educating buyers on responsible ownership
✔ Import standards to match #EU welfare criteria
