Failure to give a twenty minute walk a day will bring a 400 Euro fine

The City of Girona has drawn up a new by law under which dog owners who do not take their animals for a 20 minute walk every day will be fined.
Owners who keep their pets tied up for more than six hours a day, or who keep them in very small areas also face a fine.

It will be prohibited to be in the street with your dog without a lead, or to feed wild animals such as cats; doing so will bring a 150 € fine.
The new regulation will be approved in the next council meeting and envisages fines of up to 400 €.

Those who fail to register their dogs on the local census, or who bathe them in public, will be fined 500 €. An unlicensed dog classified as a dangerous breed will bring a 2,000 € fine for its master.
