Online pet buyers gain protection from repossession

New York's ban on pet repossession clauses covers dog and cat purchases or financing, including online and traditional sales. Contracts cannot make the animal collateral that sellers or lenders can take back because payments are missed. Unsecured personal loans remain allowed. Other consumer protections and lawful remedies remain in place. The law took effect immediately upon enactment.
