WHAT IS THE PETITION 

We want new legal requirements in relation to dogs that are being held under dangerous dogs law. Authorities should immediately notify owners if their dog is unwell, needs a vet, is dying or died. And no dog's body to be cremated or frozen without an owner’s consent, so they can seek a post mortem.

Currently there is no guidance from Government or specific legal requirements for owners to be informed when a dog - that is being held under dangerous dogs legislation - is sick, needs vet treatment or died. Owners can also struggle to get copies of vet and kennel records. 

Examples Dog 1) died on 21/11/22 after eating his bed & developed bloat. Owner not told until 6 days later. 
Dog 2) died over the Christmas period of 2022 and their owner was only notified on 16/01/23 
Dog 3) was put to sleep at a vets on 01/03/23 after not responding to medications. Owner was not notified until 07/03/23 
This has to change so please sign the petition to help protect the dogs and their families.
