Responsible Pet Ownership

All pet owners have a responsibility to their pet, their community and the environment. Cats and dogs make wonderful pets and bring pleasure and company to many families however, if they’re not responsibly cared for and left to roam, they can: Create a noise nuisance by fighting over territory or seeking a mate; Spray their urine to mark their territory and may bury their faeces in gardens; Get injured or fight with other animals; Have unwanted litters; and attack native wildlife.
