AB 2445, as introduced, O’Donnell. Public health: retail sale of dogs and cats.

Existing law, the Lockyer-Polanco-Farr Pet Protection Act, imposes certain requirements on the retail sale of dogs and cats by a pet dealer, as defined. Existing law requires every retail dealer to post conspicuously on the cage of each dog offered for sale a notice indicating the state where the dog was bred and brokered.

This bill would additionally require the notice described above to include the date of the dog’s birth, if known, the date the dog was received by the retail dealer, and the date of the dog’s most recent veterinary examination.
