Report a stray or dangerous dog

If you find a stray dog, you should:

• contain the dog, if it is safe to do so
• look for identification on its collar
• return it directly to its owner (if possible)

If there's no identification, you should call our dog control service on 03444 828 320. A dog warden will arrange to collect it.

This number is operational 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
