Saskatchewan’s chief veterinary officer says there are no plans to actively license and inspect kennels after 14 dogs died at a facility in Saskatoon, prompting calls for tougher regulations.
Dr. Betty Althouse said provincial regulations refer to the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association code of practice for kennels, but there is no requirement for operators to use those standards.
“If there was a complaint or an investigation, that would be the standard that would be used as the expectation of care,” said Althouse.
