A well cared for dog is a pleasure to own. The information here will help you look after your pet or report a dog-related problem if someone else is not taking care of their dog properly.
Responsible dog owners clean up after their dog by using a bag or a poop scoop to remove their dog's mess and dispose of it safely. Dog fouling is a nuisance and also a real danger, particularly to young children, and can cause serious illnesses such as toxocara.
Islington Council now provides dog mess bins in many of its parks and open spaces for the safe disposal of dog mess.
