Guide - Dogs and Cats
Dogs and cats provide great companionship for people of all ages, but owning a pet also involves serious responsibilities. As well as looking after the health and happiness of your pet, you must also ensure that your dog or cat fits successfully into your neighbourhood and local environment.
Unrestrained dogs can attack or harass people and other animals. Wandering cats can kill native wildlife and be a nuisance to neighbours particularly during feline mating season. Then there are other issues like barking dogs, rushing (bouncy) dogs, unwanted litters of kittens and dog poo in public spaces.
This information has been prepared for pet owners and non-pet owners to help make living with dogs and cats in Monash as enjoyable as possible for everyone.
