Owners are going to be required to clean up after their pets in the common areas of residential buildings

It is proposed to make appropriate changes to the federal law “On the Responsible Treatment of Animals.”

According to current legislation, owners are required to eliminate the consequences of their pet’s vital activity only during a walk. They want to expand this norm. Owners will be required to clean up after pets in common areas of apartment buildings. It is assumed that cleaning regulations will be determined by local authorities.

In addition, the bill prohibits visiting shops, catering establishments, medical, educational and cultural institutions and organizations with dogs. An exception will be made only for guide dogs.

In addition, it was proposed to establish uniform requirements for the transportation of pets in public transport. Pets must be in a special carrier or on a short leash and muzzle.
