Millions of dogs are suffering from the illegal puppy. Puppies, often sick and unvaccinated, are taken hundreds of miles across borders with forged or non-existent identification and vaccination documents, posing a risk to both human and animal health.

Take action now and ask your MEP to make the strongest law possible.
