Companion Animals Act

As a companion animal owner you have responsibilities towards the wider community as well as towards your pet. The Companion Animals Act 1998 sets out some of these responsibilities and gives Councils the power to assist and where necessary, enforce the law to ensure that all owners meet these responsibilities. The Act also requires all cats and dogs to be micro-chipped and registered for life.
