XL Bully Ban - Notice to all customers
Considering the government’s recent announcement to place XL Bully type dogs on the DDA (Dangerous Dog Act), our unsurance company have reviewed their customers policies.
Our insurance does not cover dogs on the DDA and as such we cannot, at present, take any bookings for any dogs in the DDA.
If you are unsure if your dog falls into the XL Bully type dog or other DDA dog then we suggest you either apply for the relevant certificate and / or seek advice from your veterinary professional.
Looking at the uk government website we advise that people look at that regarding possible XL Bully type dogs.
Here is a snipet of some of the guidelines.
It is a condition precedent to liability that for any dog which is a banned breed under the dangerous dogs act 1991 and/or as subsequently amended within the united kingdom the following guidelines are strictly adhered to:
1. The dog is registered with the index of exempted dog (IED) and a copy of the life certificate is obtained and provided to us in the event of a claim.
2. A copy of the public liability insurance certificate for the dog is obtained and provided to us in the event of a claim.
3. The dog handler ratio is 1:1 at all times.
4. All guidelines under the index of exempted dogs are strictly adhered to and the dog must be:
i. Neutered
ii. Micro Chipped
iii. Kept on a lead and muzzled at all times
iv. Kept in a secure place, so it cannot escape
Kind regards.
