Tips for responsible dog owners . Don’t have a dog if you can’t properly feed or exercise it, or haven’t got enough room for it . Train your dog in elementary obedience – your dog should be under your control at all times . Microchip your dog and ensure your address and contact details are kept up to date on any database . Dog owning isn’t for everyone . Feed your dog at regular times and from its own dish . Train your dog not to foul in public places and if you do use Dog a poop scoop or equivalent, dispose of the waste in a bin or exercise take it home area . Remember your dog’s bark can cause a nuisance . Register your dog with a vet, and if you don’t want your dog to have puppies get advice from your vet A list of vets in your area can be found in local directories or online.

WARNING Dogs die in hot cars. Remember your dog’s life may be at risk if left in a vehicle on a warm or sunny day even for a short period. You are required by law to have a collar and tag bearing your name and contact details on your dog when out in a public place.

From 6 April 2016 all dogs must be microchipped. The details held on the microchip must be kept up to date and should be held on a UK microchipping database. It is recommended that professional dog walkers or boarding facilities walking dogs add their own tag when the dog is in their possession.
