Government Petition for held dogs:

 

Create new requirements for dogs held under dangerous dogs legislation

Please Sign and Share the petition - https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/635704

Government will respond when 10,000 signatures are reached.

We want new legal requirements in relation to dogs that are being held under dangerous dogs law. 

Authorities should immediately notify owners if their dog is unwell, needs a vet, is dying or died. 

And no dog's body to be cremated or frozen without an owner’s consent, so they can seek a post mortem.

Currently there is no guidance from Government or specific legal requirements for owners to be informed when a dog - that is being held under dangerous dogs legislation - is sick, needs vet treatment or died. 

Owners can also struggle to get copies of vet and kennel records.
