What is this? Some dogs were brought from Serbia to the Netherlands with parts of their ears or tails cut off. This is against rules meant to protect animals.
What's happening? The dogs were sold this way, but the practice is not allowed in the EU. Authorities have been told about this.
Does this affect me? If you bought a dog from Serbia recently, check if its ears or tail were cut. This may not follow the rules.
What should I do? Ask your vet or a pet expert if the dog’s appearance is legal. If not, contact the seller or local animal authorities.
