Puppies and dogs - a suitable environment
This section contains information about the things your dog needs to have a safe and comfortable environment.
A comfortable dog bed
A cosy bed is important for dogs. This should be kept in a quiet, dry, draught-free area. Make sure you choose one that can be cleaned easily and thoroughly, and do this regularly.
Cleaning up after your dog
Part of providing a suitable environment is making it clean and hygienic. Dog faeces can transmit diseases, as well as parasites such as worms. Make sure you clean up after your dog using a plastic bag or ’pooper scooper‘, especially if there are children around. Dog owners and people responsible for dogs have a legal obligation to do this when in a public place, under the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005.
