Division of Animal Health
The Division of Animal Health focuses its efforts on ensuring the health
and safety of the Commonwealth's domestic animals. Animal Health staff
work closely with the Department of Public Health, the Animal Rescue League
of Boston, the MSPCA, local veterinarians, local health departments, municipal
animal inspectors and animal control officers when responding to possible
disease situations. Rapid response to potential outbreaks ensures the fewest
number of animals and animal owners are affected. Working in concert with
the Divisions of Agricultural Technical Assistance, Crop Management and
Inspectional Services, and Agricultural Development, through diligent inspection,
examination and licensing, Animal Health promotes the health and welfare
of companion and food-producing animals in Massachusetts.
