  • ZOONOTIC DISEASE PREVENTION SERIES for RETAILERS Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council Zoonotic Disease Prevention Series for Retailers
    PET INDUSTRY JOINT ADVISORY COUNCIL ZOONOTIC DISEASE PREVENTION SERIES FOR RETAILERS Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council Zoonotic Disease Prevention Series for Retailers Dear Pet Retailer: Attached are a series of informational flyers describing some important, but not well known, diseases that can be transmitted from companion animals to humans. These flyers were developed to inform retail store staff about the nature of these zoonotic illnesses and how to reduce the chance of contracting disease. The flyers were produced by PIJAC’s Zoonoses Committee, a select group of industry professionals and public health experts. This series targets retail store associates, who generally are more knowledgeable about a variety of pets and are at risk of exposure due to repeated contact with the animals and their environment. Although the flyers present guidance on disease prevention in the retail environment, much of the advice applies to the general public as well, and front-line staff may find the information valuable when interacting with customers. Zoonotic diseases have become a more prominent issue in the pet industry, in some cases resulting in legal action against retailers. Even though the risk of illness is relatively small for most zoonotic illnesses, we believe it is important to take steps to protect the health of retail staff and pet owners. Although these flyers are not designed for public distribution, you may wish to consider developing some form of consumer education based on the general elements that we have incorporated into the

Ball, Commissioner of Agriculture & Markets David C. Smith, DVM, Director of Animal Industry January 2015 10 B Airline Drive Albany, NY 12235 www.agriculture.ny.gov/AI/AIHome.html ANDREW M. CUOMO RICHARD A. BALL Governor Commissioner Dear New York Dog and Cat Breeders and Pet Store Owners: The New York State Pet Dealer Licensing Law became effective July 1, 2002. The following criteria must be met to comply with this law. If your facility sells or offers to sell nine or more dogs and/or cats per year, you must apply for a license in order to continue in business unless you qualify under the following exceptions: 1.) Duly incorporated humane societies are exempt. 2.) Breeders who sell or offer to sell less than 25 dogs and/or cats per year that are born and raised on the breeder’s residential premise are exempt. Following the receipt of your application by the Department, you will receive an acknowledgment letter. Within the next several months, an inspection of your facility will take place to insure that you are in compliance with Article 26-A of the Agriculture and Markets Law (Care of Animals by Pet Dealers). Once your license is approved, you will receive a New York State Pet Dealer’s license number which you may use in advertisements. Facilities which were not already in operation on July 1, 2002, may not operate until an inspection has taken place and a license is issued.
