Caregivers make ABC work. Dogs that are fed, known and vaccinated are calmer, healthier and easier to manage.
Feeding
- Feed at the same time and place, away from entrances, play areas and busy paths.
- Clean up after feeding so food does not attract other animals or cause complaints.
- Follow any feeding arrangements set by your local authority or residents’ association, and check the Library for the latest court orders.
Health
- Make sure the dogs in your area are sterilised and vaccinated. Contact your municipal ABC programme or a local organisation from the directory.
- Keep a simple record of each dog: description, sterilisation and vaccination dates.
Neighbours
- Talk to neighbours early. Explain that sterilised, vaccinated dogs keep the area safer.
- Help resolve problems calmly. Most complaints are about feeding spots or noise and can be solved locally.
