Animal control services
Leduc County is committed to keeping our residents and animals safe. Our Animal Control bylaw details regulations for dog control and outlines kennel operation regulations in Leduc County.
If a dog has bitten you or your pet, seek medical or veterinary attention immediately, and report it to Leduc County using the above form.
Identify your pet
We recommend that your pet has some form of identification, such as a collar, tag, tattoo or microchip. Animals with identification are more likely to be reunited with their families if they go missing.
Dog control
According to the Animal Control Bylaw, you must:
- ensure your dog is always on a leash and not running at large
- immediately remove dog waste from any property other than your own
- keep your dog from becoming a public nuisance by preventing barking and chasing livestock, bicycles and people
- ensure your dog doesn't cause damage to property or other animals
- ensure your dog doesn't scatter garbage from waste bins
If you fail to follow these regulations, you may receive a fine.
Cat control
We don't have a cat control bylaw in Leduc County. If you find an injured, stray cat, contact the Alberta Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals (SPCA). Stray cats that appear to be healthy can be left where they are. Stray cats are homeless cats that may have once been indoor cats and are accustomed to people.
Trap neuter and return
Feral cats are homeless cats that have had minimal contact with people. If you find a feral cat in Leduc County, visit Edmonton Humane Society's Trap Neuter and Return program to learn more about how you can help control overpopulation in feral cat colonies.
To participate, you will need to trap a healthy feral cat in a humane trap and transport it to the Edmonton Human Society. The cat will be neutered or spayed, and will receive vaccinations and a microchip. After that, you can pick up the cat and return it to the original location.
Livestock control
Contact the brand registrar at Livestock Identification Services at 1-866-509-2088 if you see any livestock outside of their compounds, including on public roadways.
