NParks to work with pet industry to raise standards, enhance traceability

SINGAPORE: NParks announced on Saturday that it will take steps to work more closely with the pet sector and community to strengthen animal health and welfare standards.

Based on its preliminary engagement with its key stakeholders in the pet sector, NParks found that the varying standards - and sometimes poor practices - of pet breeders and boarders have been of concern. “This may be done in various ways, such as improving animal handling and care through staff training.”Accreditation or licensing of service providers will also be explored, NParks added.

“So we need to work with breeders, boarders, pet associations, pet businesses, veterinarians, animal welfare groups and the public to decide on those common standards to adhere to and to leverage technology where possible.”One of the ways it is exploring to make tracing pets easier is through the use of Near-Field Communication .
