Dog warden

We deal with stray dogs and prevent them roaming in public areas, micro-chipping, dog fouling and dangerous dogs.  We will detain dogs under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 for seven days and it is the responsibility  of the owner to report their dog as missing to our service.  If a dog is not claimed back within seven days it then becomes the property of our contracted kennels and is assessed for suitable re-homing. Dogs are detained in quality kennelling outside the Peterborough area.

If we have contact details available from the disc, lost report or microchip we will contact the owner to inform them the dog is detained and is safe.  Under this act there is a fine pay for the return of a lost/stray dog.  Owners will be informed of this cost when contact is made.  Contact our dog warden service.
