Allow puppy, kitten and kit vaccines during COVID19 lockdown

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Treat puppy, kitten and kit vaccinations as emergency treatment during COVID19 lockdown.
All infant pets are advised by vets to have vaccinations during their first 8-12 weeks of birth, and cannot go outside without them. Pets need to exercise outside for mental and physical stimulation and growth.

Please change the puppy, kitten and kit (infant pets) vaccinations to an emergency procedure in veterinary practices.
These vaccines help fight against disease and protects their immunity.
It is unfair to keep an animal of a young age kept confined for a long period of time, every animal has the right for daily exercise. Not all pet owners have large homes or adequate outdoor space for their pet to get enough physical stimulation.
Please change the rules for this COVID19 lockdown.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

Since you started your petition, Government restrictions have loosened such that certain vaccinations can proceed subject to a risk assessment. Contact your local vet to find out what services they are able to provide.
