Question -
The law seems to say that tail docking and dewclaw removal can be done by the breeder prior to 5 days of age - is this correct?
You can dock dogs 5 days old or younger; they cannot be docked by a breeder over 5 days of age. |

AG SECRETARY THANKS STATE, COUNTY ANIMAL RESPONSE TEAMS FOR HELPING CARE FOR SEIZED DOGS
HARRISBURG - Department of Agriculture Secretary Dennis Wolff today thanked more than 50 volunteers who donated time and resources this week to help care for 216 dogs that were seized from the Almost Heaven Kennels in Emmaus, Lehigh County.
The raid permanently closed the operation using the recently improved Dog Law.
Wolff said the volunteers - representing the Pennsylvania State Animal Response Team (SART) and County Animal Response Teams (CART) - proved incredibly valuable in quickly removing the dogs from an unsafe and unhealthy situation so they can begin their course to a better life.
"With the commitment of these dedicated volunteers, our staff was able to execute the raid and seize the dogs to provide better lives for these animals moving forward," said Agriculture Secretary Dennis Wolff. "This is just one example of the way these animal teams help animals in distress. Their work is vital no matter what the emergency situation."

HB39 has passed the Senate Agriculture committee after being amended as we requested. We did not get everything we wanted but what was signed into Law was reasonable in our opinion. |

Please contact your legislators and support SB 136. The bill, which amends the Regulatory Review Act, was introduced last year but did not go anywhere. It has passed the PA State Senate unanimously this session, but it may face a tougher battle in the PA House of Representatives. The bill adds the following definition to the act: " Acceptable data . " Empirical, replicable and testable data as evidenced in supporting documentation, statistics, reports, studies or research. |
