- The Norwegian Food Safety Authority (NFSA) asks the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (VKM) to assess the risk of reduced animal welfare in dogs kept permanently outdoors and dogs used for long-distance sled dog racing In Norway, sled dogs are often kept outdoors. This is also true for several farm- or hunting dogs. The NFSA asks VKM to assess the risk of reduced animal welfare when dogs are kept permanently outdoors. The NFSA will use the risk assessment as scientific basis for new guidance documents on the outdoor keeping of dogs. The NFSA will also use the risk assessment when evaluating whether changes in regulations and competence requirements for the outdoor keeping of dogs are needed.
