New York Attorney General Letitia James reminded retailers on Friday that pet stores will no longer be allowed to sell dogs, cats, or rabbits anymore starting on Dec. 15.

The Puppy Mill Pipeline Act aims to undermine the puppy mill industry, where pets are mass-bred, mistreated, diseased, and then sold for cheap. Signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) in 2022, retailers were given two years to make the appropriate adjustments to comply with the law.
