Animal Welfare
Animals
The Council provides a free service for the removal of dead
animals from all accessible areas (i.e. people's homes, gardens,
the highway etc). We do not remove from inaccessible locations
(i.e. rooftops, waterways etc).
Birds
Due to the threat of Avian Influenza (Bird Flu), any reports
of dead birds MUST be made directly to Department for Environment,
Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) on their Public Enquiry line: 08459
335577
Dogs
Members of the Public can report stray dogs to Worcestershire
Hub on 01562 732928. To report a stray dog outside these hours
contact 01562 850053.
Dangerous dogs should be reported directly to the Police.
Licences
Apply to the Council for licences for pet shops, dog breeding,
animal boarding, keeping of dangerous wild animals, riding
establishments and zoo licences.
