DOG SELLERS LAW
(ACT 90) PART 3 OF 4 by Lee J Schneider, Pet Journal Editor lschneider@petjournalmidwest.com This month we bring you the third installment of our Multi-month look at Wisconsin’s Dog Seller Law (Act 90). Originally this was to be the final installment in this series, but we have decided to extend this series one month and next month we will be bringing you some figures on breeders, rescues and shelters in Wisconsin including the number of USDA licensed breeders, which sell to Pet Shops; a look at the inspection process from the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP); and lastly some useful links on where to look for more information. Due to production deadlines these items were not available at press time. This month we have two Veterinarians, Kim Everson of St. Bernard Animal Medical Center in Van Dyne and Marty Greer of Veterinary Village in Lomira; and one breeder, Jacquelyn Fogel of First Class Bassets and Bedlingtons and Cedar Creek Pet Resort, that have submitted comments regarding Act 90. The veterinarians will be disscussing the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) and the breeder will go over the good and bad points of Act 90. While we would have liked to bring you view points from several breeders, many did not want to submit comments to us as they are not affected by the law, some of these reasons are covered in Mrs. Fogel submission.

Our first comment will come from Kim Everson of St. Bernard Animal Medical Center. The oath sworn to by U.S. veterinarians upon graduation includes the promise to promote not only animal health but also welfare and that doing so benefits society at large.
