Rules about the number of pets

We have only laws about dogs in France : you need an authorization if you want to have more than 9 dogs at home. Some breeds need also to have an authorization, and a rental agreement can forbid to have some dangerous breeds of dogs at home : there is a list with only 3 breeds actually, but it is only if the dogs are not inscribed on the LOF -- Book of French Origins, where dogs of pure breeds are inscribed with their origins -- : Staffordshire terriers, boerbulls and tosa.

I don't know the exact amount In my city of dogs you are allowed to keep but the amount I have I don't think many would approve of. I have been told by my family to be aware of te neighbors if they complain and and the city authorities come, they can possibly fine and incarcerate us for this. I take care of my pets and love them to the Mac my family and I make time for them. Although none of that would make a difference to the authorities :/ I just hope nothing happens

As far as I know, in every place I've ever lived, there is no limit to cats. Which is crazy. If a person has twenty cats, it's not healthy for the person or the cats. But I guess it's better than having to have the cats put down. Yes, it varies from city to city how many dogs you can have. Where I grew up you could only have four dogs. Where I live now you can have five dogs. Unless you have special permission. A friend of mine rescues dogs. She doesn't run a shelter, but she takes them into her house. She pays for a certain exception, because she actually has 19 dogs. And that's a lot.

I live in England and I own two dogs. They are miniature poodles. The law says a pet dog must be kept under control when out in the community. The dog must have an owner identity disk around his or her neck. I put my name, address and phone number on my dogs disks. From 2016 onwards I think each dog must have a microchip. Both of my dogs are have a microchip. People that own a freehold house can own as many dogs and cats they like. In an apartment or leasehold building there might be rules. Generally domestic pets are fine. My family had a pet chicken and two pet ducks plus rabbits when I was a teenager. We lived in a semi rural area.

The rules about pets vary from city to city. There are no national or state rules. An example from a city rule that I heard about is 3 pets of any combination of dogs and cats. In San Antonio, I believe that it depends on whether the animals have been neuttered or not. I believe that one has to get a breeder's license to have an un-neutered dog. In our city, both cats and dogs are required to be licensed and must be on a leash anytime they are off your property. If an animal is obtained from the city shelter, one must sign an agreement to have that animal neutered within 30 days, if that has not already been done.

Unfortunately, there are no rules for pets. I think some strange species are forbitten, but other than that, no rules. And it is also bad for the animals, as they let them go and they have to live alone in the cities. Dogs and cats I mean. Some thing it is their natural environment, but is really a cement environment their home?

There are many laws about how many pets you may keep. In the US, these generally vary from city to city and can vary, depending on whether you live in the centre or the suburbs. In most US cities, ordinances often limit the number of dogs to two, and may also limit the number of cats. Other pets like rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, or hamsters may also have a number limit. People should call the local Animal Control department to find out what applies in their area. In the UK, I cannot find that there are any set limits but, if a neighbour's pets become a nuisance or a person is suspected of animal cruelty, these cases are dealt with by the local Police in association with the RSPCA and individuals may be banned from keeping animals by law. Especially in urban areas, individual properties may have various restrictions on the owner about keeping such animals as chickens and pigs and there may be byelaws in operation. When one buys a property in the UK, these restrictions are researched by the solicitor and must be agreed to by the purchaser. If you live in rented accommodation, landlords generally have the power to forbid residents to keep any pets at all, at their discretion.

I think we don't have also ruled here regarding in number of pets can be taken care of as long that they are not in the street anyone can have many pets they want. I remember when I was a kid we have a big compound with lots of mix animals from dogs , cats, chicken, rabbit, goat and pig. We have 10 cats and 3 dogs that time my parents love to take care of them.

I'm not sure what the laws are here where I live, but I do know that some people keep way too many animals. Sometimes spending more money to feed the animals than they spend on themselves. If there are too many animals in one home, I don't think they can get the care or attention that they deserve.

Yes there are laws but think it all boils down to the city you live in and the city ordinance. Some cities prohibit the breed of dog a person can have as well.

i think there should not be any rules as such and they must be allowed to live quite freely just like that

Right now there is only by laws on the number of dogs you can have, which is 3 per household unless renting then it may be different. I know in Toronto they have a limit on cats as well, but not here yet. I think it benefits in a way so irresponble useless people get animals, then toss them when they don't want them. Whereas if there is a law you have to register them, and report if they leave the household.

I have 5 dogs and my friend has 9 cats. In our country, there are no limits on number of pets for each households. I also heard that there are limits of 2 or 3 pets on different states in US.

In my country there is a law that you should be able to provide 10 squear feet for every animal you have .And 20 squear feet for an animal over 20 kg. I got informed about that when I got my lab.

Hi Porco, this rules about the number of pets really is an interesting topic. As for me here, we don't have such a weird rules. We can have as much number of pets as we want, as long we don't neglect their welfare. After all, animals are living creatures. The only rules that i had known is that, we are not allowed to have commercial animals in town areas. Have a nice day...

I don`t know whether there are rules in my city about the number of dogs or cats you can keep. But it seems that you cannot have certain animals as pets in the city. I have seen people on TV with lots of dogs or cats and I thing it is grosse. They are sick and the poor animals suffer.

It is true that there are laws about how many pets you can have. I think it is only for dogs and cats. The law varies from place to place. I have had cats, and although I didn't realize it at the time, you were only allowed 2. I had 4. They don't check up on it. Dogs have to have a license, but there is no way they could tell how many cats you own unless someone reports you.
