XL Bully ban: guidance for vets

It is now illegal under the Dangerous Dogs Act for anyone in England, Scotland, and Wales to own an XL Bully type dog without a Certificate of Exemption. 

To help our members with the implications of the ban, we've collated the most up-to-date information into this practical guide for veterinary teams in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. 

This is a live resource, which will be updated as further details on the ban are released or clarified by the Government. This information was last updated November 2024. 

This is a member-only resource, to access you will need to log in to your BVA account.
