DOG owners are being reminded to act responsibly and keep their pets on leads when walking through the countryside. Denbighshire County Council and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB are issuing the advice as lambing season continues. Dog owners can be prosecuted if their pet disturbs or chases a sheep. Huw Rees, the Council’s Countryside and Heritage Services Manager, said: “The vast majority of dog owners respect the countryside when walking their pets and I would like to thank them for their efforts. “We are reminding all dog owners, including those who have a dog for the first time, to be responsible with their pets and to keep them on leads when walking through the countryside with livestock, particularly during lambing season.

NEW statistics released today by leading rural insurer NFU Mutual estimate the cost of dog attacks on livestock in Wales was nearly £165,000 last year – down a third on 2019’s total. Despite a welcome fall in the figures in Wales where police efforts and co-ordinated campaigns have helped change attitudes among dog owners, the UK saw a rise in cost of over 10 per cent. According to estimates based on claims reported to the insurer, farm animals worth £1.3m were savaged by dogs in the UK last year. A recent survey of dog owners commissioned by NFU Mutual reveals that 64 per cent of dog owners are letting their pets roam free in the countryside, despite half of owners surveyed admitting their dog doesn’t always come back when called.
