Advertisements for pets involved in illegal trade pose significant risks to the health and welfare of the animals involved, as well as to EU consumers. While the EU Pet Advertising Advisory Group (EUPAAG) works to support online platforms’ self-regulation, we see the Digital Services Act as an opportunity for the EU to improve standards of online advertising of pets via regulatory obligations.

What they argued
The EU Dog & Cat Alliance urges the European Commission to acknowledge in the proposed Directive the barrier that pets can represent for people escaping domestic abuse so that this is taken into consideration in EU Member States’ efforts to protect people experiencing domestic abuse.
The EU Dog & Cat Alliance welcomes the Commissions proposed regulation (COM(2023)770) on the welfare and traceability of dogs and cats. The legislation would mark an important step forward for standards in dog and cat welfare. However, we would like to see the regulations go further to effect real change for dogs and cats and we have outlined our recommendations in the attached file.
