How to reclaim a dog

If we have your dog, you can reclaim it by calling 03444 828300 (7 days a week, 8.30am-5pm).

You will need to provide:

  • proof of your address (e.g. a utility bill) and
  • proof of ownership (e.g. kennel club registration, family pet photo, vet bill)

You will need to pay the fees for collection and kennelling of your dog – please see our environmental health fees sheet.
