Dog Attacks

What happens if another dog attacks my dog or myself?

Both you and your dog have the right to use public land without fear of attack or harassment by other dogs.

If you or your dog are attacked, call Domestic Animal Services on 6207 2424, as soon as possible to inform them of the attack. For after emergency hours assistance from Domestic Animal Services, call Canberra Connect on 13 22 81.

A ranger is available to attend dog attacks 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
