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.

Replace ban with regulated license system for certain dog breeds
We feel the current ban on certain dog breeds punishes the animal not the owner, and is distressing to owners of well behaved dogs. We believe the problem is poor training. Instead of bans, there should be a license system to own certain dog breeds, just like the gun license system.
Review and strengthen nail industry regulations
We ask the Government to improve nail industry standards by reviewing health and safety regulations to make them strong, mandating technician training and certification, requiring regular salon inspections, and putting limits on harmful chemicals to protect workers and customers.
Review and reform legal status of pets, and rules on animal control equipment
I ask the Government to review and reform the status of pets to recognise them in all cases as sentient family members and relatives, not chattel. Set out specific strict rules on using animal-control equipment like catch poles and strong penalties if negligence or force cause harm or death to pets.
Require licence for all dog breeding in the UK and bring in new ownership laws
Make breeding dogs at home illegal and only allow dog breeding with a licence from the Government. Establish a cap on the amount of dogs bred yearly. Require neutering before purchase. Increase legal minimum age of dogs sold and require basic training for owners. Require licences for dog owners.
Regulate and reform veterinary care
We call on the UK Government to establish regulatory oversight of veterinary care. This should include written treatment plans, itemised bills, consent safeguards, and accountability for corporate-owned practices which we believe profit from distress.
