Responsible Dog Ownership

"I want a dog". 

 

Many people decide they would like to own a dog without thinking about the responsibilities that are involved in owning and caring for an animal.

 

A large proportion of owners are either out at work for long periods of the day or have very young children.

 

A dog does not sit on the settee playing on the computer. Its needs excersise and stimulus - walks, play, training and needs to be good with other dogs.

Your dog needs to have a name tag with your details i.e. telephone number and your address (a legal requirement), also Microchipped in case you lose your dog which will help to swiftly reunited your dog to you.

Your dog needs to be neutered. A dog is not a money making machine so do not treat it like one, it's a pet and a member of the family .

Many people think they can breed from their dog make lots of money. Unfortuantely there are too many unwanted puppies abandoned.

Our advice is go to a  dog rescue and give a home to an unwanted dog.

Do your research first into what type of dog will best fit your family circumstances.

Remember a dog is for life and is part of the family.

Many Councils promote responsible dog ownership and most Council's Micro Chip FREE

The two boroughs which Michael represents - Havering and Thurrock Councils -  hold events throughout the year.

Dogs may like the taste of chocolate but chocolate hates them. Please do not feed your dog human chocolate, it is poison to them.
