A new bill aimed at improving conditions for dogs at breeding facilities is being unveiled in Connecticut today.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal is joining the Humane Society to introduce the Puppy Protection Act.

Supporters say the legislation would establish stronger standards for veterinary care and housing at commercial breeding facilities.

The measure would require larger enclosures, unrestricted access to exercise and socialization, and more routine veterinary care for dogs in a breeder's care.

Advocates say the proposal is designed to improve animal welfare and strengthen protections for dogs at breeding operations.
