    Report dead, or missing, animals

    Our Streetscene Team removes dead animals and birds. Often these will be wild animals killed on the roads. Sadly, on occasion, a dead animal may be a family pet. If this is the case, we will scan the animal for an identification chip. If we find a chip, we will be able to contact the owner to arrange:

    • delivery of the animal to the owner
    • a time for the owner to collect the animal from a local depot

    If no chip is found, we will keep the animal for a few days before appropriate disposal.

    Report a missing animal

    If you own an animal that has gone missing, contact us to check whether we have collected as deceased.

    The local police station is notified if a stray dog is seized by the Dog Warden.
