Attention All Dog Owners
Lambing time has now begun.
In the last month, the Dog Warden has investigated two sheep attacks, one near Clones and one near Emyvale.
These attacks cause great cruelty to sheep and lambs.
These attacks result in serious losses for the farmer.
Any dog, large or small, may become involved in attacking sheep – MAKE SURE YOUR DOG DOESN’T GET THE CHANCE!
If you own a dog or dogs, you are required to:
- Keep your dog under control at all times. This means not allowing your dog off your property unaccompanied.
- Have a microchip certificate of registration which proves that your dog is microchipped and registered to you. (Required since April 2016)
- Ensure that every dog under your control wears a collar bearing the name and address of the owner at all times and that the name and address are legible.
- Have a current licence for each dog in your possession or a general dog licence to cover all dogs in your possession. YOU CAN NOW BUY YOUR DOG LICENCE ONLINE AT monaghan.ie
PLEASE KEEP YOUR DOG LICENCED, TAGGED, MICROCHIPPED AND UNDER CONTROL
