Pet Regulations

In the Town of Grimsby, no more than three dogs over the age of 10 weeks can be kept on any premises unless grandfathered under the By-law. All dogs must be licensed according to our Animal Care and Control By-law, and all dogs must be leashed at all times unless they are on their own property or at a designated leash-free dog park. Whoever has control of a dog (usually the owner or dog walker) is responsible for picking up after the dog.
