Did you know that rules of pet ownership are changing in Australia? Well, kind of. At the start of this month, the ACT revealed a new draft code of practice that sets out mandatory rules of dog ownership in the territory. Among the new rules is a required minimum time of three hours spent with a dog every day. Now that is just for the ACT. Read the ACT's full draft Code of Practice here. But it comes a month after new laws at the federal level came into effect that changed how pets are seen in the family law system. It means pets won’t just be seen as property, and there will be new special considerations to who took the best care of the pet. Today, we’re looking at how the rules of pet ownership are changing.
