LEGAL ADVICE AND DOG LAW
Dog law can be a complicated and specialist area.
Your dog may accidentally damage property or injure someone, be accused of nuisance behaviour or of being out of control. You may have an issue with a breeder, vet or other professional, be part of an ownership dispute or caught up in the Dangerous Dogs Act. The laws relating to dogs are complicated and changing all the time. Animal law is a relatively new and growing aspect of the law. An increasing number of lawyers now specialise in cases involving animals.
If you need dog legal advice, there are a number of specialist services available that you may find useful.
