Medway Council - Responsible Dog Ownership Events

A Day for Every Dog

Our award-winning event ‘A Day for Every Dog’ raises the awareness of responsible dog ownership in Medway.

If you've got a dog, come along to our Dog Ownership Events where you'll get help and advice on all topics relating to dogs. There'll also be free dog microchipping, the chance to get your caddy liners and reusable clear sacks, plus lots more.

We will be travelling around Medway between July and October 2021 visiting a different park each day, giving dog owners and potential dog owners the opportunity to discuss dog law and take advantage of what's on offer.

This year's event will include:

• Free microchipping
• Advice on responsible dog ownership
• Discussions on dog-related issues within the area
• Educating children how to safely interact around dogs
• Giving away goodies, recycling bags
• Answering questions about your waste and recycling
• Promotion of the climate change action plan
• Promotion of the community safety partnership
• Advising on community safety
• PCSO Linda Colthorpe will discuss PetWatch - a new dog theft scheme.
