An Act protecting dogs at boarding kennels and daycare facilities

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources to create specific rules for dog boarding kennels and daycare facilities, including those operating from private homes. The new regulations would cover staff qualifications, the number of dogs allowed per caregiver, facility size and safety standards, and requirements for emergency training and liability insurance. By establishing these mandatory guidelines, the legislation aims to ensure consistent care and safety standards across all types of dog care businesses in the state.
