Animal welfare services

We are responsible for the welfare of animals in Fife and offer help and advice on a wide range of issues. 

Our main areas of work are:

  • investigating reports about dog fouling and barking
  • talking to individuals and groups about responsible dog ownership 
  • picking up stray dogs and taking them to licensed kennels 
  • licensing animal boarding establishments, dog breeders, horse riding centres, pet shops, zoos and the movement of agricultural animals
  • making sure domestic and farm animals are properly cared for  
  • enforcing laws which control animal diseases such as foot and mouth, rabies and sheep scab 
  • feed hygiene registration
  • the importation of cats, dogs and other small animals
