Petition Make the Government recognise Guide Dogs as working dogs!

More details

Guide Dogs (unbelievably) are still not recognised officially as working dogs in the UK!

The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is therefore subject to paying VAT on all the food it purchases for the dogs. This is extremely expensive and as the Association receives NO Government funding, our MP's should do something about this!

The Government should recognise Guide Dogs as working dogs and allow the Association to save a fortune on VAT which can go towards training more life-changing dogs!

Let's Change This!
