Ban on chaining dogs and cats, new outdoor dog housing rules
New regulations prohibit keeping dogs and cats on chains, introduce detailed rules for outdoor kennels, and require insulated dog houses for animals kept outside. The changes affect owners of animals kept outdoors.
Key points
Complete ban on chaining dogs and cats – only exceptions specified in the act are allowed, such as leading on a leash, transport, or veterinary procedures.
Dogs kept outside must have freedom of movement in a fenced area – kennels only allowed if no fence exists or if the dog poses a safety risk.
Kennels must provide adequate space, stable construction, ventilation, and allow natural behavior – daily exercise outside the kennel is mandatory.
Mandatory insulated dog houses made of wood or wood-based materials for dogs in kennels, unheated spaces, or open areas – each dog needs its own house.
Detailed kennel requirements will be specified by the Minister of Agriculture in a regulation – considering dog size, number of animals, and needs of nursing females with puppies.
Exemptions apply to dogs used for special purposes and dogs in shelters or specified breeding facilities with more than two litters per year.
