The Puppy Protection Act of 2026 amends the Animal Welfare Act to establish detailed care standards for dog dealers. The bill requires dealers to provide adequate housing with solid flooring and minimum space requirements based on dog size, ensure proper nutrition and water access, provide daily exercise and socialization, and deliver comprehensive veterinary care including vaccinations and parasite prevention. The bill also imposes restrictions on breeding practices, including health screenings, limits on litter frequency and breeding age by breed size, and requirements to find humane placement for retired breeding dogs rather than selling them at auction.
