To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when he plans to respond to the European Medicines Agency's report on the Nobivac Leptospirosis 4 vaccine on breeding dogs with particular regard to the high mortality rate.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when he plans to respond to the European Medicines Agency's report on the Nobivac Leptospirosis 4 vaccine on breeding dogs with particular regard to the high mortality rate.
The European Medicine’s Agency publishes the Veterinary Pharmacovigilance Public Bulletin. This document provides an update on pharmacovigilance issues relating to products authorised at an EU level. The March 2018 edition reports that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) has requested the marketing authorisation holder for Nobivac L4 Suspension for Injection for Dogs to provide a report focusing on all adverse events involving death or euthanasia. This report is still being assessed. At the current time, the CVMP considers that the benefits of use of this vaccine in preventing serious infection continue to outweigh the risks.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what plans he has to strengthen current regulations on the maximum number of litters that a breeding dog may have during its lifetime; and what measures he intends to put in place so that breeders are legally responsible...
The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018 came into force on 1 October this year, and require that no breeding dog is mated if it is under 12 months’ of age; gives birth to no more than one litter every twelve months; gives birth to no more than six litters in total; and is not mated if it has had two litters delivered by caesarean section. The maximum number of dogs that a breeding dog may have during its lifetime was agreed with key animal welfare organisations and veterinary groups prior to the new regulations being drafted. As with any dog it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the welfare needs of a retired breeding dog are met, as required under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. There are no proposals to make any changes to the regulations at this very early stage. The regulations are subject to review within 5 years.

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.
The UK’s Veterinary Medicines Directorate works closely with the EMA and other similar agencies throughout Europe to monitor the safety and efficacy of all veterinary medicines, including leptospirosis vaccines. These vaccines have been reviewed and the benefits of use of these vaccines in preventing serious infection continue to outweigh the risks.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, for what reason his Department took the decision to launch a consultation on third party sales of dogs and cats in addition to the call for evidence that already exists.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, for what reason his Department took the decision to launch a consultation on third party sales of dogs and cats in addition to the call for evidence that already exists.
Defra undertook a call for evidence in order to form a well-grounded understanding of the case for banning the third party sale of puppies and kittens, and of how such a ban should best be designed and implemented. The evidence we have obtained has valuably shaped the reforms which will formally be proposed via a consultation. Defra is working with a range of organisations, including the Canine and Feline Sector Group, to consider the impacts of a possible ban, including the impacts on rescue and rehoming centres. Any proposal to bring such centres into the scheme of licensing under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018 would be subject to full public consultation. Any rescue centre that operates commercially and offers animals for a fixed fee in England would be in scope of being licensed as a commercial pet seller under the regulations.
