Pets

Caldmoreaccord understands the benefits that responsible pet ownership can bring. However, rules must be in place to prevent irresponsible pet ownership, which can cause suffering to animals and a nuisance to neighbours.

In 2011, we won gold in the RSPCA’s Community Animal Welfare Footprints award scheme for its work in promoting animal welfare.

The publications available below provide useful information whether you are a new resident or an established resident thinking about getting a pet, or you have had a pet for some time. They are also helpful for residents who are having problems with a neighbour’s pet.

Below, you can find information on:
