Keeping a pet is, of course, joy and pleasure, but also a great responsibility. Proper care of Tails ensures a long and healthy life and plays a key role in protecting animal rights. It is important to provide them with food and shelter, avoid cruelty, provide proper veterinary care, and know and follow the laws governing these aspects.

General information about legislation

The legislation of Ukraine on keeping and caring for domestic animals includes a number of laws and regulations aimed at protecting the rights of animals and preventing their cruel treatment. The most important of these are the Law of Ukraine on the Protection of Animals from Cruelty and a number of by-laws that regulate specific aspects of care, transportation and keeping of animals.

Basic laws and regulations related to keeping animals

One of the main legislative acts is the Law of Ukraine on the Protection of Animals from Cruelty, adopted in 2006. This law establishes general principles for the humane treatment of animals, prohibits their cruel treatment, and contains requirements for the conditions of keeping, transporting, and using animals in research and public displays. The law also requires owners to register their Pets with local veterinary facilities and provide them with proper care, including veterinary care.

These provisions contribute to the protection of animals from abuse and form a responsible attitude among citizens, promoting a culture of respect and caring for living creatures.

Rules for transporting animals in a car

Transporting animals in a car requires compliance with certain rules that ensure the safety of both animals and road users. It is important to use special carriers that must be securely fixed in the vehicle to avoid injury to the animal during movement. For large dogs, it is recommended to use special dog seat belts or barrier nets that separate the animal from the driver’s area.

According to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 1402, transportation must comply with established safety rules. This resolution specifically states that animals must have access to water and food, and that their transportation must not cause them stress or pain.

Rules for walking animals

Walking pets, especially dogs, requires certain rules to be followed, including being on a leash and wearing muzzles for some breeds in public. This helps to avoid conflicts with other animals and people. Walking areas are often segregated and specially equipped for the safety of both animals and people.

Liability of owners for loss or damage caused by animals

The law also states that owners are responsible for any loss or damage caused by their animals. This means that owners must ensure that their Pets do not pose a threat or cause harm to others or property. In cases where an animal causes damage, there may be an obligation to compensate for damages.

These rules help ensure the responsible and safe keeping of dogs, cats and other possible pets, as well as promote compliance with the rules of coexistence in society.

Tips for caring for animals at home and outdoors

Home

  • Animals need their own place where they can rest and feel safe.
  • Regular visits to the veterinarian help keep animals healthy and detect any problems in a timely manner.
  • It is important to follow the diet recommended by the veterinarian and provide the animal with all the necessary nutrients.

On the street

  • Use a leash to control the animal, especially in public places.
  • Socialization of the animal from an early age helps it adapt to the environment and reduces aggressiveness.
  • Always have water with you, especially in warm weather, and make sure that the animal does not pick up street litter or harmful substances.

Compliance with the law is essential to ensure the protection of pets. Laws governing the keeping and care of animals establish basic standards of humane treatment and promote the education of responsible owners. Whether these rules are written or unwritten, every pet owner should treat their pets as members of the family and treat their needs with respect. Keeping Fosters requires responsibility and dedication, and each owner must provide Tails with proper living conditions, adequate nutrition, love and care.

Remember that our dogs and cats depend on us for many aspects of their lives, and therefore we are responsible for their lives and health.
