Pet Ownership Awareness Month

This June, take some time to review the Animal Care and Control Bylaw No. 7586 and ensure you’re meeting your responsibilities as a cat or dog owner. Some responsibilities for dog owners include ensuring your dog has a valid licence from New Westminster Animal Services, keeping your dog leashed unless on private property or in a designated off-leash area, and picking up your dog’s waste and disposing of it in the trash. For cat owners, ensure your cat has permanent ID (tattoo or microchip) and that your contact information is up to date. Cats that venture outdoors must also be spayed or neutered.
