Dog Warden Service
What does the Dog Warden service do?
The service promotes responsible Dog ownership within Cheshire
East.
The service deals with the symptoms of irresponsible dog
ownership:
- Straying Dogs

found on the
noise pollution page of our
Environmental Health section.
We will:
- Respond to all general complaints as soon as possible, however
always within 3 working days.
- Respond to sightings of stray dogs.
- Collect stray dogs and keep them safely for a maximum of 7 days
for collection by owner (subject to the payment of a fee).
- Operate a non-destruction policy for any dog not reclaimed, and
working with partner organisations to get the dog rehomed.
- Visit schools and other groups to present responsible dog
ownership.
