❤️ Why This Matters
Right now, over 250,000 dogs live in USDA licensed commercial breeding facilities in the United States.
Current federal standards allow:
🟥 Dogs to live in cages only 6 inches larger than their body for life
🟥 Stacked wire cages
🟥 Unlimited breeding of female dogs
🟥 Sick or injured dogs forced to breed
🟥 Repeat violators to keep operating
Dogs deserve better.
📣 What’s Happening Right Now
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is looking at rewriting standards for breeding dogs under the Animal Welfare Act and is asking for public feedback.
This is a rare opportunity to improve:
- housing conditions
- veterinary care
- exercise and socialization
- breeding limits
- enforcement
Public comments directly influence federal rule changes.

✅ What We’re Asking the USDA to Require
We’re urging stronger protections for dogs in commercial breeding facilities:
- Solid, non-wire flooring
- More space and taller enclosures
- No stacked cages
- Proper temperature control
- Daily outdoor exercise
- Meaningful human interaction and socialization
- Prompt veterinary care
- Annual veterinary exams
- Limits on number of breeding females per facility
- Limits on breeding age and number of litters
- Licensed veterinarians for C-sections
- Stronger inspections and enforcement
Evidence of a Broken System
A recent federal audit found licensed USDA dog breeders with prior violations were allowed to continue operating with ongoing welfare concerns.
Stronger standards and enforcement are needed for the dogs!
