Problem pets
Pets kept in unhygienic conditions can cause a smell nuisance to neighbours. Dogs left alone to bark for long periods may be a noise nuisance to people living nearby.
Anyone owning a pet has a duty to keep it in a way which does not interfere with neighbours' enjoyment of their homes.
Complaints of nuisance will be investigated by the Animal Warden Service. This will involve assessing the nuisance from the complainant's property and may require more than one visit, particularly in the case of barking dogs.
