Standards of Care for Dogs Kept Outdoors in Ontario
On April 20, 2022, the Ministry of the Solicitor General updated Ontario Regulation 444/19 (Standards of Care and Administrative Requirements) under the Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act, 2019 (PAWS Act). The updated standards of care for dogs kept outdoors and dogs tethered outdoors are now in effect as of July 1, 2022.
In the event of a conflict between a municipal by-law and the updated standards, section 67 of the PAWS Act continues to apply. Section 67 of the PAWS Act specifies that if there is a conflict between a provision of the PAWS Act or its regulations and a municipal by-law related to the welfare of animals or the prevention of cruelty to animals, the provision that provides the greater protection to animals prevails.
For concerns under the PAWS Act call 1-833-9-ANIMAL
