We all know that owning a pet is not just about having a fun and loyal companion—it’s about following animal control and dog control bylaws and making sure you’re doing all you can to keep your pet safe, healthy, and happy.
A few simple but critical rules you need to follow include:
- Ensuring your pet is on a leash in all public spaces (this means anywhere outside of the owner’s private property or designated off-leash areas)
- Spaying and neutering companion pets
- Picking up after your animal
Responsible pet ownership makes a positive difference in the community. For everyone’s safety—including your pet’s—keep your dog on a leash and follow all pet directives, which you can find at SturgeonCounty.ca/animal-control.
Let’s all do our part to foster a community that is safe and healthy for residents and all our furry friends.
