Alinsunod ito sa Republic Act No. 9482 at DOH Administrative Order No. 2013-0004, kung saan kinakailangang magpakita ng valid DOH accreditation ang mga nasabing pasilidad bago pahintulutang mag-operate.

Nakasaad din sa ordinansa na magsasagawa ng regular na monitoring at inspeksyon ang City Health Office (CHO) o Provincial Health Office (PHO) nang hindi bababa sa isang beses kada taon upang matiyak na patuloy na sumusunod ang mga pasilidad sa itinakdang pamantayan ng DOH.

Layunin ng ordinansa na maprotektahan ang kalusugan ng publiko at masiguro ang maayos na paggamot sa mga biktima ng kagat ng hayop, lalo na laban sa rabies at iba pang panganib na dulot nito. (PIO Batangas City)
