Licensed pet shops are allowed to sell their animals through online platforms, and are required to indicate their licence number in the advertisements posted online. Buyers purchasing through online platforms may verify the authenticity of the licence number through the list of licensed pet shops published on the NParks website.

NParks does not have an estimated value for animal sales conducted through online platforms. Licensed pet shops are not required to report sales values to NParks. Notwithstanding this, NParks monitors online platforms for alleged illegal sales. In 2024, NParks has investigated 67 cases of illegal pet breeding and sale, including from online platforms.
