Reminder to Dog Owners About Regulations and Offences

The Municipality of West Nipissing reminds all residents to respect rules pertaining to the Animal Control By-law 2020-67.

Allowing dogs to run at large, failing to pick up dog excrements, failing to keep dogs on leash in a public area, allowing dogs to enter a swimming area, and allowing dogs to persistently bark or howl are all cause for fines. These offences cost between $105 and $150.

Please refer to the Animal Control By-law 2020-67 for a full list of rules and offences. Visit the Licensing and Permits page for all Animal Control registration details.

Your neighbourly cooperation is greatly appreciated.
