As Christmas approaches and people get ready to go away on their holidays we advise that leaving pets to fend for themselves while you are away is ‘abandoning’ them in the eyes of the Law and is a contravention of the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962.
Please ensure that your pets are left in reputable boarding kennels or that you have a responsible person looking after the animal. Ensure collars and ID discs /microchips are on these animals JUST in case they get out and become strays.
