| Dogs |
| All dogs in Brockton must be licenced each year and must wear their dog tag at all times. View our Dog Licences page for registration and fee information.
All Dog Owners must keep their dogs on a leash and abide by "poop and scoop" regulations. |
| Kennel Licencing |
|
If you wish to keep more than three (3) dogs, we require that a Kennel Licence Application be completed and an inspection be conducted before a Kennel Licence can be issued. A Kennel Licence must be applied for each year. View the Kennel Licencing section of our Dog Licencing page for more information. |
| Lost Dogs |
| If your dog is lost please contact the Brockton Animal Control Officer. |
| Dog Bite Prevention Campaign |
| The Grey Bruce Public Health Unit and Grey Bruce Veterinary Association are launching an awareness campaign to help people understand most dog bites are preventable and reducing the number of dog bites is everyone's responsibility.

| Cats |
| The Municipality of Brockton does not have a cat by-law. Cat owners have a responsibility to keep their cat on their property, using a leash or harness if necessary. Owners are responsible to vaccinate and neuter or spay their cat to prevent attracting stray cats to the area. |

Wildlife Concerns |
|
Our Municipal Animal Control Officer does not provide a service to deal with, or remove, nuisance or injured wildlife on private property. Calling Police about non-emergency wildlife issues can take them away from dealing with other important emergencies. Please visit our Wildlife Concerns page to learn more about the best way to deal with wildlife issues that may be affecting you or your property. |
