Taking someone else's dog to the vet

[Tyrion]

Not sure if I should do this or not...

I've got 2 female dogs, I regularly keep them in my fully enclosed garden. Yesterday I found a dog in my garden, trying to fk my 18 month old dog. This is the 3rd or 4th time he's been in garden in the last week. It's definitely been kept closed at all times so the little bd can clearly climb over the walls.

I spoke to my neighbour to find out who owns the dog, he told me it lives at the other side of the small residential place I live in (maybe 30 villas and a handful of flats). He also said he had a problem with it killing ducks in his own garden, complained and the owner wasn't interested.

I was thinking about just sticking the black dog in my car, take him to vets and have him speyed or neutered or whatever you do to male dogs... Then just release him again.

I can't increase the height of the fence/walls as its a rented house. I don't want to complain to the owner as he clearly doesn't give a st, and I don't want him to tip him off that I was unhappy with his dog then it comes home without its nuts one day...

Reasoning with the guy isn't going to work, keeping my own dogs indoors isn't going to work either as they love the freedom. So would it be that bad if this little pest got the snip...

Fairly certain that's not legal. And should you choose to do it, delete this thread.

[Tyrion]

Yeah I didn't think it would be legal, don't care about that though. Just wondering whether it was morally wrong

For what it's worth, it's a mongrel dog so not like there would be any loss from not being able to breed it, puppies would be worthless.

sounds like a good idea.

the above advice is sound





don't use the closest vets. Pay cash.

TBH if a dog came into my garden one of the other dogs would quite possibly kill it. IN your shoes I'd quite likely go tell the owner if the dogs gets into my garden again it won't be getting out again.

I assume you own a pair of these?

Take it to the vets, tell them it keeps turning up in your garden, ask for an ID chip check. chances are there won't be one if the owner is that st, in which case the local kennel will be asked to take it away. First thing they do with strays is neuter them IIRC...

[Who me ?]

Simple solution - contact local council dog warden an ask for advice -most likely they'll pay owner a visit and enlighten them to the obligation of dog ownership .an the penalties associated with them finding a doog loose and causing problems

No you can't. Get in touch with the dog warden.

Are your dogs spayed? If not get them done as it is one less thing for you to worry about.

I suspect the OP is not in the UK judging by his comments.

Good point. Didn't think of that. I sometimes forget that PH is international.
