The Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) has proposed a revision in the licensing standards for the pet breeding and boarding industries in Singapore on July 1. The pet breeding and boarding sectors are part of the first phase of the pet sector review in August 2019, after the operator of a dog boarding facility Platinium Dog Club was found mistreating dogs. AVS said that these proposed revisions took reference from overseas standards such as the UK. They had sought opinions from local industry stakeholders and members of the public too. Another round of public consultation is now open till July 31 before the revision is confirmed.
