Pennsylvania HB693 amends kennel regulations to enhance dog safety and welfare.
Pennsylvania HB693 amends the Dog Law to improve kennel conditions for dogs. It mandates that boarding kennels, humane societies, and Kennel Class I through VI license holders develop exercise plans for dogs, approved by a veterinarian. All kennels must be equipped with smoke alarms or fire extinguishers, and housing facilities must have fire extinguishers on-site, with indoor facilities allowed to have sprinkler systems. Primary enclosures must be structurally sound and kept in good repair, without gaps that allow limbs to extend into other enclosures.
