At Pawfect, we take the welfare of all animals seriously \u2014 including the sheep that often share the countryside with our dogs. It\u2019s every dog owner’s responsibility to ensure their pet is kept under control around livestock. The law is clear: dogs must be on a lead or under close control in fields with sheep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, a landowner has the legal right to protect their animals if a dog is seen worrying livestock. We encourage all our clients and fellow dog lovers to be aware of these rules, not only for legal protection but out of respect for farmers and the animals they care for.<\/p>\n\n\n
