Require regulation of dog swimming pools.

Closed 120 signatures

What the petition asks

Dog swimming pools should be regulated. A minimum qualification level should be enforced in water training for dogs and water hygiene. Those already in the industry should also meet a minimum standard.
With no regulatory body anyone can set up and operate a dog pool. Dogs need safe handling whilst in water, appropriate teaching and handling to avoid poor handling, injury and hygiene.
