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.
The Dogs (Fouling of Land) Act 1996 states that it is an offence if an owner fails to clean up their dogs mess immediately.
We encourage responsible owners to microchip their pets.
Details of who to contact with any issues relating to dangerous dogs.
