Dog Warden Service - Lost and Stray Dogs
Stray dogs can be a danger for many reasons, not least of which
being that they could cause a serious road accident or bite a
child.
Our dog warden is able to respond to reports of stray dogs
during office hours, Monday to Friday 8.30 a.m. - 4.30 p.m.
and deal with them accordingly, telephone 01562 732928 . To
report a stray dog outside these hours
contact 01562 850053.
The Police are responsible for dangerous dogs.
All dogs must be provided with a means of identification, such as a
collar and tag and/or microchip. For further information, please
email our
Customer Service team
If you are reporting that you have seen/found a stray dog:
If the dog is contained we will arrange for the dog warden to
collect it. If it is roaming then we will patrol in the area and
try to detain the dog, however this can be very difficult.
Please do not keep the dog for any period of time before contacting
us as the owner may be looking for it. If you feel you may
wish to offer the dog a home if it is not claimed by the owner,
please let us know and we can advise you.
To report a stray dog, please telephone 01562 732928 (outside of
normal office hours your call will be re-directed)

If you have lost your dog, please telephone Customer Services on
