• We provide dog waste bins throughout the Borough to encourage owners to clear up after their dogs
• We give regular presentations to schools and other interested groups on the work of the animal warden and on responsible dog ownership
• We provide a service to implant micro-chips in dogs to make sure they can be easily identified and returned if found straying
