B.C. Premier Christy Clark is set to make an announcement this morning about enhancing protection for dogs and cats in our province.

This comes after two recent major animal seizures in the Lower Mainland.

Last Tuesday, BC SPCA officials took 70 animals from a breeding and boarding facility in Surrey after a vet deemed they were all in distress.

On Feb. 4, the BC SPCA took 66 dogs into its care after seizing them from a Langley puppy mill.

The announcement is expected at 9 a.m.

WATCH: Veterinarian Adrian Webster tells us how we can avoid buying our pets directly and indirectly from puppy mills.
