Full Breakdown

Frisco Municipal Code Chapter 6 covers commercial pet dealers, kennels, and grooming shops. Retailers must keep records on each animal including breeder source, age, and health treatments and present them on demand. Texas Occupations Code Chapter 802 layers in the Licensed Breeders Act for large breeders. While cities like San Antonio have banned retail dog and cat sales, Frisco has not adopted that ban. Stores must meet sanitation, ventilation, cage size, and disease-control standards and submit to inspection by Frisco Animal Services. Sick animals must be isolated and treated.

Violations & Fines

Operating without proper records, selling sick animals, or violating cage standards triggers citations, license suspension, and shelter seizure of stock until conditions are corrected.
