From the 6th April 2008 Chiltern District Council has been responsible for dealing with all stray dogs within its area.
From this date if you find a stray dog and the dog has a form of identification, then, if possible, please return it directly to the owner.
If you have contained it within your own premises e.g. in your home/garden please contact the council as follows:
During normal office hours please contact our contractor on
01494 586503 or complete the online form.
Outside of normal office hours please telephone 01494 586519 or complete the online form.
A dog warden is available outside of normal office hours to deal with contained stray dogs only.
Please Note: We do not operate an out of hours service for any other dog related enquiry.
