Licensing of potentially dangerous dogs
Licensing of potentially dangerous dogs
The procedure allows you to obtain or renew the licence that the owner of potentially dangerous animals must apply for in order to keep them. Any person who drives a potentially dangerous dog in public spaces requires a licence issued by the Town Council. This licence is personal and non-transferable and must be renewed every 5 years, as if it were the first time.
A potentially dangerous dog is considered to be a dog that due to its breed type, aggressive nature, size or jaw strength has the capacity to cause death or injury to people or other animals and to cause damage to public or private property.
