ANIMAL LAW 2025: NEW STANDARDS FOR NEW PETS

After clarifying the new rules for canine and feline breeding and training, the decree of June 19, 2025, brings a major and much-anticipated step forward for the world of New Pets (NPS).

For the first time, domestic rabbits, rodents, birds, and fish benefit from much more precise standards for protection, keeping, and housing. No more guesswork; the new 2025 law now requires living conditions that truly respect the biological and behavioral needs of these species.

What changes will this bring to pet care professionals and animal shelters?

The objective of this new regulation is to standardize the level of requirements for dogs, cats, and exotic pets, ensuring that all animals enjoy a similar level of well-being, namely:

1. Suitable living spaces: The decree of June 19, 2025, emphasizes the need to allow exotic pets to express their natural behaviors.

_ For rodents and rabbits: Cages must be large enough and include essential amenities, such as areas for gnawing, digging (for rabbits), hiding, and perching. The layout must allow for daily locomotor activity appropriate to their species.

_ For birds: Aviaries or cages must allow horizontal (not just vertical) flight and be equipped with perches of varying diameters to prevent leg problems.

_ For fish: Aquariums and ponds must respect maximum densities and provide an enriched environment (vegetation, hiding places) to best replicate their natural habitat.

2. Banning systematic individual housing:

For gregarious species (which live in groups, such as many rodents), housing in compatible social groups is now the norm. Isolation can only be justified for health or behavioral reasons. This measure aims to combat loneliness and the behavioral problems that result from it, particularly for guinea pigs and rats, which suffer from isolation.

3. Strengthening staff skills:

Professionals (animal boarding kennels, pet stores, animal shelters) who keep exotic pets must now ensure that their staff have specific knowledge of the physiological and behavioral needs of the species they keep (including exotic pets). This is essential because the needs of a rabbit are radically different from those of a dog or a ferret.

What are the direct consequences for exotic pet owners?

_ Greater transparency during purchases: Whether in pet stores or from specialized breeders, the conditions in which animals are kept are now subject to strict regulations.

_ Promotion of specialized pet boarding facilities: Pet-sitting or boarding services for exotic pets must comply with regulations. By choosing a professional listed on ServicesPourAnimaux, you increase the guarantee that your rodent, rabbit, or bird will be housed in an enriched environment adapted to its specific needs.

ServicesPourAnimaux welcomes the inclusion of exotic pets under the enhanced protection of this legislation. We encourage all professionals and owners to familiarize themselves with these new standards to ensure the best comfort and health for these small companions.

Veterinary emergency, on-call veterinarian, vet phone number

Veterinary emergency for dogs cats small animals, call 3115

On 2025-09-30

VETERINARY EMERGENCY FOR DOGS, CATS, AND NACs, DIAL 3115

An accident, respiratory distress, poisoning... veterinary emergencies can occur at any time, even in the middle of the night or on a public holiday.

To respond quickly and effectively, there is a toll-free national number to call: 3115, the veterinary emergency number.

Available free of charge from a mobile or landline phone, the veterinary emergency number 3115 is available 24/7. It allows you to contact an on-call veterinarian near you and quickly obtain advice or referral to an open veterinary clinic.

The veterinary emergency service covers dogs, cats, and NACs (New Companion Animals) throughout mainland France, and ServicesPourAnimaux recommends that you save this number to your phone now because responsiveness can save an animal's life.

What are the steps involved in emergency veterinary care?

1 _ Call ahead for veterinary emergencies: It is strongly recommended that you call 3115 before traveling to allow the veterinary team time to prepare and assess the severity of the emergency.

2 _ Reception at the veterinary clinic: You are greeted by the on-call staff. If the animal is in life-threatening distress, it is immediately transferred to intensive care. Otherwise, you wait in the waiting room for a veterinary consultation.

3 _ Veterinary consultation: The veterinarian assesses the animal's health. They make a diagnosis and perform initial veterinary care. Additional tests may be performed as needed (X-rays, ultrasound, lab tests, etc.).

4 _ Veterinary hospitalization: If the animal's health requires it, hospitalization may be proposed. A quote is provided to the animal's owner with an explanation of the treatment.

5 _ Discharge and veterinary follow-up: Upon discharge from a veterinary emergency, you will receive prescriptions, recommendations, and various medical documents. The on-call veterinarian can also refer you to a specialist such as an animal osteopath or schedule a short-term veterinary check-up.

EDUCATIONAL COMICS WITH ANIMALS, LEARNING WHILE HAVING FUN!

At ServicesPourAnimaux, we believe that teaching respect for animals begins at a very young age. That's why we're launching a series of educational comics featuring animals, specially designed for children and teens.

The goal of these educational comics featuring dogs, cats, small pets, and horses is to raise awareness with gentleness and humor through illustrated stories on essential themes, including:

_ Respect for animals and animal welfare: understanding the basic needs of different animals.

_ Good behavior: how to interact with an unknown dog, what to do when faced with an injured animal, what to do when faced with an abandoned dog or cat, etc.

_ Responsible behavior: feeding a pet properly, recognizing signs of stress in an animal, adopting a pet slowly, etc.

_ Empathy and commitment: encouraging young people to become protectors of the animal world.

Each educational comic features expressive animals and curious children, including Luna, the wise Bengal cat who explains feline emotions; Oscar, the Labrador Retriever guide dog who demonstrates the right actions; Titou, the rabbit who talks about cage life and the need for freedom; and Equinox, the French trotting horse who raises awareness about equine care and the rider-horse relationship.

A ServicesPourAnimaux educational comic is more than just a drawing; it's a gateway to animal awareness.

The educational comics featuring animals are aimed at all elementary schools, middle schools, recreation centers, and media libraries, as well as families wishing to introduce their children to a healthy relationship with animals.

All educational comics featuring dogs, educational comics featuring cats, educational comics featuring small pets, and educational comics featuring horses can be viewed exclusively and free of charge online or printed on the ServicesPourAnimaux platform.
