Andorra animal welfare and breeding regulation

Overview

The Government of Andorra has introduced new legislation focused on animal welfare and the regulation of animal breeding. The proposed bill aims to professionalize breeding activities and combat illegal trafficking by mandating that commercial breeding occur only in authorized establishments under strict controls.

To curb clandestine markets, the law prohibits the online purchase of animals, requiring all sales to be conducted in person at authorized locations to ensure transparency regarding health and origin. While individuals may engage in sporadic breeding, they are prohibited from selling such animals; they may only be gifted or ceded under specific sanitary and identification requirements. The government intends to monitor recurrent individual breeding to prevent unauthorized commercial operations.

Non-compliance with these regulations will result in financial penalties, with fines ranging from 500 euros for minor offenses to 15,000 euros for very serious infractions.
