Most states with reporting laws offer immunity from civil or criminal liability for veterinarians reporting in good faith.
As of late 2025, approximately 24 US states require licensed veterinarians to report suspected animal abuse, neglect, or cruelty to authorities. Failure to report in these jurisdictions can lead to professional disciplinary action, including license suspension or revocation.
In states without mandatory laws, veterinarians are generally permitted to report abuse without violating confidentiality.
