Animal Welfare Law Spain
THE new animal welfare law approved by the Spanish Congress of Deputies is now in effect. What do we need to know about this new law and what’s new. Here are the 10 new obligations for dog owners.
1. Take out civil liability insurance for damages to third parties, whatever the breed or size of the dog.
2. Take a mandatory course. Everyone who has a pet or wants a pet must take a course and will have a period of two years to do it. All the details are not clear yet about this course but it will be free and online.
3. All dogs must pass a sociability test, those that don’t pass will be required to wear a muzzle and a short leash until they improve.
4. A dog may be alone at home for a maximum of 24 hours. They cannot live on balconies or in basements. The fine for this can reach €10,000.
5. Pets must be integrated into the family nucleus and kept clean.
6. Avoid uncontrolled reproduction. Breeding may only be carried out by approved breeders.
7. It is forbidden to leave them at any time inside a closed vehicle.
8. They can not be tied up or wander through public spaces without supervision.
9. They should not deposit their droppings or urine in places of habitual passage. If it happens the owner must clean them.
10. Facilitate veterinary treatments.
1. Tail wagging. Yes, we thought that one was clear but apparently they don’t always wag their tails when they are happy, this movement can also show signs of anxiety, stress, tension, or aggressiveness.
2. Yawning, isn’t always a sign that your dog is tired. Dogs yawn when they want to convey their disgust!
3. The play bow. A dog’s position when he wants to play is his head on his paws and bottom in the air. This position doesn’t necessarily mean he wants to play, he can also be claiming possession of something or even be asking for space.
4. A playful dog. This isn’t always a good sign, it can mean they find it difficult to manage their emotions and is linked to nervousness in a dog. Dogs usually play for a time and then rest.
5. Smiling. If you think your dog is smiling unfortunately you are mistaken. In fact, dog experts say this smilelike expression on a dog is more indicative of a stressor.
