Pet Advocacy Network Applauds Critical Health Protections in Newly Introduced Farm Bill
Pet Age reports that the Pet Advocacy Network is supporting provisions in the newly introduced Farm Bill that include the Healthy Dog Importation Act, legislation designed to strengthen health screening and identification requirements for dogs entering the United States. The article notes that the measure would modernize federal standards by requiring vaccination records, parasite treatment, and disease testing, helping protect pets, livestock, and public health.
“The Healthy Dog Importation Act empowers the USDA with additional tools to monitor dogs entering the country and protect both human and animal health,” Sandy Moore, CEO of the Pet Advocacy Network, said.
“This is a commonsense, bipartisan step that strengthens public health protections while supporting responsible pet ownership and commerce.”
