Reminder: Responsibilities of dog owners

Municipal and provincial regulations establish a framework regarding dogs, and it is the responsibility of a dog’s owner or guardian to keep informed of all relevant laws and by-laws currently in effect. Westmount’s Public Safety Department reminds us of some important stipulations to ensure our safe coexistence with our furry friends all around Westmount :

• A dog must wear a valid licence issued by the City at all times.
• In a public place, a dog must at all times be under the control of a person capable of controlling it.
• Dogs are to be on a maximum six foot leash in all public places except dog park or designated dog runs.
• A dog of 20 kg and more must wear a halter or harness attached to its leash.
