Introduction
Welcome to the USDA Animal Care online search tool.
Here you will find information regarding individuals or facilities whose animals and activities are regulated by the Animal Welfare Act.
The Animal Welfare Act and its associated regulations require that federally established standards of care and treatment be provided for certain warm-blooded animals bred for commercial sale, used in biomedical research, transported commercially or exhibited to the public. Entities that operate facilities using animals in these ways must
provide their animals with among other things, adequate housing, sanitation, nutrition, water and veterinary care, and they must protect the animals from extreme weather and temperatures.
