National Legislation and Standards

Dear user,

Now you will find the first new questionnaires for your more user-friendly usage. The questionnaires are kept as short as possible to provide you with the most important information. For further legal detail please see below our other website for lawyers and veterinarians.

This section includes national country profiles on policy and legislation focused on dogs. As it is a growing project you will find more and more country profiles presented.

The national profile includes the following categories: Data and Documents; Animal Welfare Governance; Dogs and Cats in Legislation including Definitions, Ethical Considerations, Identification and Registration, Breeding, Transport and Trade, Keeping, Killing, Abuse, Un-owned Animals and Shelters, Veterinarians; Birth Control Policy; Enforcement; Practical Information.

If you want to research on more legal detail please have a look at our enforcement website www.lawyersfor animalprotection.eu where there are legal profiles of countries in general. This website is also growing and new profiles are added frequently.
