Report Dog Fouling
Use this service to report:
- dog mess in a public area like parks, playgrounds and pavements
- a dog and it's owner if you've witnessed the dog fouling or have evidence of who did it
If you witnessed a dog fouling incident, give us as much information as you can about:
- the date, time and location of the incident
- what you saw
- the owner and the type of dog
What happens next
We aim to remove dog mess within 1 working day or same day if reported before 1pm
What happens after you report someone
We will look at the information you give to see if the case is appropriate for investigation by our environmental crime team.
We will only take action against a person if we have enough evidence that they committed the offence. Action can include fines or conviction.
Fines
Dog owners who fail to clear up after their dog can face an on the spot fine of £100. Those that are convicted can be fined up to £1,000.
The law states that being unaware a dog has fouled or not having a suitable bag is not a reasonable excuse.
