Over the last few weeks, our Localites Team have picked up several lost dogs across West Devon who don’t have an ID tag. Because of this, reuniting a dog to its owner can take far longer, and can be a stressful time for both the furry friend and its family.
To keep your dog safe, please make sure they wear an ID tag.
Under the Dog Act 1992, the legal requirements are:
- A dog must be licensed and microchipped.
- A dog must wear a collar with a name/ID tag (exemptions apply for some working dogs).
We recommend you add your mobile number to your dog’s ID tag so you can be contacted at any time.
More information and tips on keeping your dog safe can be found on the Blue Cross website.
