RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP

Being a responsible pet owner is much more than just providing adequate water, food and shelter for your pet. The City of Sturgeon Bay has several pet related ordinances which must be adhered to. Some of the requirements are as follows:

  • No dog, cat or other animal shall be allowed in any city park, except for officially designated dog parks.
  • The owner of a dog or cat shall have the animal vaccinated against rabies and distemper by a veterinarian within five months of age and revaccinated within one year after the initial vaccination.
  • Any animal off the premises of the owner and not within an automobile shall be leashed and under control of its owner.
  • While on walks it is the responsibility of the pet owner to pick up any waste that their animal might leave.
  • It shall be unlawful to harbor any dog which habitually barks, howls or yelps or any cat which habitually cries or howls to the great discomfort of the peace and quiet of the neighborhood.
