“Canine fertility clinics” breed dogs to look “novel” but are not providing the appropriate veterinary care.
Barry Gardiner sat with the Enviornment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee on the 4th of July 2023 to examine pet welfare and abuse.
After being asked by Barry about the dangers of canine breeding facilities, one panelist argued that we need a Veterinary Act that is "appropriate for the 21st centuary" to better protect our dogs from harmful breeding.
The panel interviewed Sarah Carr, CEO, Naturewatch Foundation, Dr Melisa Donald, President, Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), Dr Justine Shotton, Senior Vice President, British Veterinary Association (BVA) and Dr Sean Wensley, Senior Veterinary Surgeon for Animal Welfare and Professional Engagement, People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA)
