All dogs in public
must be wearing
a collar with
identification tag
showing the name and address of
the owner.


Do not leave your dog in the car during hot weather.
Ensure your dog is vaccinated against Parvovirus,
Hepatitis, Distemper and Leptospirosis; a yearly
booster is all that is required.
All dogs require training and
it is never too late to start!!
Your vet could recommend a training club, or contact the dog wardens for advice.

Keeping Dogs Under Proper Control

(Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.)

Allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control in a
public place is a criminal offence and the owner or any
person in charge of the dog at the time are liable.
The courts have powers to order the destruction of the
dog and the maximum sentence for the owner is a fine of
£5000 and/or six months imprisonment.
If the dog causes injury the maximum sentence is two
years imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine.
