Dogs: Animal Breeding

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to investigate the use of the leptospirosis vaccination on breeding dogs; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

These vaccines have been reviewed and the benefits of use of these vaccines in preventing serious infection continue to outweigh the risks.
