Pets will be better protected in New Brunswick thanks to stricter rules proposed by government.

New rules for pet stores, kennels and animal shelters


The provincial government plans to adopt a new regulation under the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act which will define specific standards for pet establishments, such as pet stores, animal shelters and kennels, and enable their licensing and inspection.

The changes will apply to both commercial and non-commercial establishments in municipalities and rural areas. In addition, owners of more than five dogs, over six months of age, will be required to adhere to nationally established standards of care for those animals.
