The Animal Welfare Act

All people responsible for the welfare of animals, including owners and us in our capacity as dog groomers, are bound by the Animal Welfare Act, and we have to observe the following 5 needs of animals in our care:

​

1. A suitable environment (a place to live)

2. A suitable diet

3. The ability to exhibit normal behaviour patterns

4. The need to be house with, or apart from, other animals (if applicable)

5. The need to be protected from pain, injury, suffering and disease
