Dog and cat breeding consultations

Last updated on March 31, 2021

The Ministry of Agriculture consulted stakeholders in the commercial dog and cat breeding industry to invite input on:

Required licensing and/or registration to operate as a breeder
Possible proactive monitoring and enforcement of commercial cat and dog breeders

The purpose of the consultations was to gather stakeholder input to potential legislation that will assist the BC SPCA to monitor and take action against irresponsible breeders of dogs and cats.
