CO HB1354

Pet care facilities must notify pet owners within 24 hours of receiving notification from a licensed veterinarian or pet owner about an infectious disease outbreak, if the pet owner provides veterinary documentation or proof of treatment.

Facilities must make every reasonable attempt to notify all individuals who own pets in their possession or who used the facility during the reported outbreak and incubation period.

Notification can be provided by posting notice in a conspicuous location on the premises, posting on the facility's website if one exists, or directly contacting pet owners through any available means.

Pet care facilities must disclose information about any infectious disease outbreak that occurred within the past year to any pet owner who requests such information.

The bill applies to pet care facilities licensed in Colorado that provide day care, boarding, grooming, or training services for pet animals and is titled the "Clinton Pet Animal Notification Act."
