Dog Control
Dog Control includes dogs fouling, straying, attacks on person or livestock.
Council employs one Dog Warden who patrols the area and is available during office hours. We have no out of hours service.
Dog Fouling:
It is an offence under the Dog Fouling (Prescription of Places) Regulations (NI) 1995 for " a person in charge of a dog to permit the dog to deposit its excretement in any place"
DOG FOULING - MAXIMUM FINE £500
Preventing your dog from fouling a public area will make Carrickfergus Borough a much more pleasant and safer place for all its residents.

Dogs Straying:
Under the Dogs (NI) Order 1983 it is an offence for a dog to be unaccompanied or not be 'under control'. If there is a dog straying in your area please contact the Dog Warden during office hours by telephoning the Environmental Health Section.
