In order to improve the welfare of companion animals in Quebec, a new licensing program will come into effect 7 November 2013.
The Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food announced the new legislation with the intended purpose of identifying and inspecting facilities that house and care for animals.
More than 250 inspectors, MAPAQ employees and 13-SPA-SPCA are at work in Quebec to ensure compliance with the legislation. The new legislation calls for a permit system for owners or keepers of more than 15 dogs or cats. The permit system is established under the Regulation respecting the safety and well-being of cats and dogs, which is the Law on Animal Health Protection.
