A dog that is loved, well cared for and properly trained can provide a lot of pleasure and hours of companionship. In return for that pleasure, comes the responsibility that you, as an owner, have a duty to care for your pet.

Unfortunately some owners are irresponsible and allow their dogs to foul in public places. This is:

• unhealthy
• unpleasant
• costly

AVDC is committed to ensuring that the nuisance and danger associated with irresponsible dog ownership is eradicated.

Together we can help make our environment safe and clean.

Dogs that do not receive regular veterinary attention can carry diseases, some of which can be spread to humans.
