Many halachos relate to animals on Shabbat. These include the biblical prohibition to work one's animals on Shabbat as well as not trapping or killing animals on Shabbat. Two very practical topics about animals on Shabbat include whether pets are muktzeh as well as the topic of how to feed animals on Shabbat. | |||

# Letting one's animal rest and not do the 39 Melachot on [[Shabbat]] is a biblical commandment from the Pasuk לְמַעַן יָנוּחַ, שׁוֹרְךָ וַחֲמֹרֶךָ.

Aruch Hashulchan 305:5 rules stringently even though nowadays a tag shows that the animal has an owner and should not be put to death because of the fear of rabies. Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach cited in Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata 27 footnote 33 disagrees since these tags are worn for the benefit of the dog. </ref> | # One shouldn't take an animal out on [[Shabbat]] beyond the eruv with anything that doesn't benefit the animal.<ref> Shulchan Aruch 305:1. </ref> There is discussion if this applies to a tag.<ref> Shulchan Aruch 305:17 extends this to a tag.

* (a) The Hagahot Mordechai (kedushin) writes that it’s permissible to give a small animal to a goy because it’s not usually used for work implying that a large animal would be forbidden because it may do work. The Darkei Moshe writes that the difference is that a large animal would do work which is Deorittah and a small animal would only be traveling more than [[techum]] which is Derabbanan (or even if you hold it is Deorittah it’s still not the same Deorittah because it doesn’t get Sekilah). | * (a) The Hagahot Mordechai (kedushin) writes that it’s permissible to give a small animal to a goy because it’s not usually used for work implying that a large animal would be forbidden because it may do work.
