Pets

It is your responsibility as a cat or dog owner to ensure your pets are kept under control and are not a threat to the community.

Some dogs and cats are trained to help people with disability. These assistance animals are not pets. They provide an important service, helping people participate in personal and public activities with more confidence and independence.

The NSW Government’s Responsible Pet Ownership program teaches pet safety to children, parents, expectant families, and antenatal professionals across the state.
