Application for permission to exhibit animals / Event notification according to § 11 Animal Protection Act (TierSchG)

If you would like to hold events with animals, you need a permit if you

• Hold animal fairs for the purpose of exchanging or selling animals by third parties, or
• display animals on a commercial basis or make them available for such purposes.

Some events are also subject to a notification requirement under the regulations of the Animal Health Act. These include:

• Dog and cat shows and similar events involving these animals if
  • the exhibition or event is to take place in a district at risk of rabies
  • Dogs and cats from EU member states or third countries participate
• Livestock shows, livestock markets or events of a similar nature
  • "Livestock" in this sense means, for example, domestic animals of the species horse, donkey, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, rabbits, many species of poultry, game birds and camelids

The conditions depend, among other things, on the type of event and the animals to be exhibited or offered. In the certificate of approval, which is issued by the locally responsible Food Control and Veterinary Office, the exhibition conditions are specified depending on the type of animal and the animal health situation.

Detailed information on your individual request can be obtained from the Single Point of Contact (for commercial requests) or directly from the locally competent Food Control and Veterinary Office.
