Dog Fouling
Responsible Dog Owner
Being a responsible dog owner can prevent this and we can help – all you have to
do is follow our dos and don'ts.
Do
- Make sure your dog can be identified by putting an identity tag on your dog's collar
and getting your dog 'chipped' by a vet – this helps identify it if it gets lost
or stolen.
- Have your dog wormed regularly by a vet to prevent the spread of infection.
- Keep your dog under control at all times and never let it out alone.
- Be responsible about where you walk your dog.
- Always clean up after your dog and dispose of the securely wrapped bags in your
domestic waste bin, a designated dog waste bin or a public litter bin.
- Let us know of any dog fouling offenders or problem areas
- Make use of 'poop scoop' bags.
Don't
- Allow your dog to foul in children's play areas, schools or sports grounds.
- Leave your dog's mess to someone else.
- Ignore someone else letting his or her dog mess – tell us.
