ABOUT US

The EU Dog & Cat Alliance was launched in 2014. The Alliance currently represents over 90 organisations across the EU. Together we are working to improve companion animal welfare and build a better Europe for dogs and cats. Our membership encompasses veterinary organisations, rescue and rehoming organisations, and other organisations working to protect companion animal welfare. This gives the Alliance a unique set of expertise to coordinate and facilitate dialogue between the EU institutions (European Commission, Parliament and Council), civil societies, experts and other stakeholders.

We aim to:

  • Lobby the European Union institutions to introduce and improve EU legislation in relation to dogs and cats
  • Collaborate with other key stakeholders such as NGOs and other organisations working in the field of dog & cat health and welfare within the EU 
  • Provide a constructive platform for the sharing of information on dog and cat welfare issues between our members
  • Gather robust evidence on the dog and cat issues we work on and produce reports and briefings to support our position
