Other Services Offered by the Dog Wardens
Education
The Dog Wardens will happily talk to any
group, society or association in Thanet about their job,
responsible dog ownership or safety around dogs.
Re-homing
Stray dogs that are not claimed by an owner
may be re-homed. If you are looking to re-home a dog,
please contact your local kennels. Details are available on the
useful numbers page.
Microchipping
This involves placing a small microchip under
the dog’s skin which contains a unique number. When the dog is
scanned by a vet, kennels, dog warden or anyone with an appropriate
reader, the number is picked up and the owner can be traced through
a national computer. It is recommended as a method of
identification if your dog is lost or stolen.
Please telephone your local vet for further
information and prices.
N.B. Having a dog microchipped does not
eliminate the legal duty to keep a collar on a dog bearing
the owner’s name and address.
Behaviour and Training Advice
Please telephone the Dog
Wardens if you are having problems with your dog. They can
offer advice or help. For help training your dog, contact a local dog training centre.
