Dog Fouling
In Thanet all dog owners must clean up after their dog and
properly dispose of the waste, if it fouls in a public place.
If there is no dog waste or litter bin in the area, owners
must take the bag and dispose of it at home if necessary.
Thanet District Council issues a £50 Fixed Penalty Notices or
prosecutes in the Magistrates' Court.
If you witness an offence contact one of our Dog Wardens or
phone us on 01843 577000 or e-mail customer.services@thanet.gov.uk
Your dog must be "properly dressed" to go
out.
Dog owners should also be aware that all dogs in a public place
must wear a collar and identity tag detailing the owner's name and
address. The identification must be visible, microchipping is
NOT enough. Thanet Council believes this is a
sensible policy and enforces it resulting in a number of
prosecutions of dog owners in recent years.
