A 1108 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for the licensing of pet grooming facilities; establishes standards of care and required record keeping

This bill requires all pet grooming facilities in New York (including mobile services) to obtain a license from the Secretary of State. It establishes safety standards, such as never leaving pets unattended during grooming and following minimum care requirements from animal welfare laws. Facilities must keep detailed records for one year - including owner contact, services provided, vaccination proof, and medical history - and display their license visibly. A $40 annual fee applies, with violations potentially resulting in fines up to $500. The law directly affects pet grooming businesses operating in New York, not pet owners or self-service facilities.
