Whether you need help with ticks, tricks or treats, you can get advice, information and a whole range of freebies at one of our Dog Roadshows this summer.

On the last Friday of every month Ann-Marie, Sevenoaks District Council’s Animal Control Officer, and our Community Safety team visit towns and villages in the Sevenoaks district to deliver the Love Your Dog Roadshow. With a wealth of knowledge and experience, the team gives advice on everything from flea treatment to behaviour. They offer a free microchipping service, microchip check and even free poo bags.Yellow dog poster

Mandie Stallard, Community Safety Officer told us, “the roadshows are really helpful for dog owners. They help people understand more about being a responsible pet owner and managing common problems such as barking.”

By promoting initiatives like the Yellow Dog campaign, the team can have honest discussions with dog owners about their dog’s behaviour. Yellow Dog encourages dog owners to mark their dogs lead or collar with a yellow ribbon to show other dog walkers and pedestrians that their dog needs some space it could be because your dog is unwell, grumpy or in season. 

Further information about other upcoming events can be found on our event page.
