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
  • Aggressive Dogs
  • Dog Fouling
  • Barking Dogs

We will:

  • Respond to all general complaints as soon as possible, however always within 3 working days.
  • Respond urgently 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.
  • Enforce dog related bye-laws and the Cleaner Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005.
  • Operate a micro-chipping service to promote responsible dog ownership.
