The City of Bay Village has ordinances prohibiting dogs and cats from running at large. Additionally, dogs and cats must have a rabies vaccination after the age of six months. Dogs must also must have a valid registration through the County Auditor. Please consider spaying and neutering your pets. Animals, especially cats, can reproduce quickly. A pet cat that has a chance encounter with a feral mate can lead to big problems for homeowners and a life of neglect.
Other items of consideration involving our pets:
- If you find, lose or encounter an injured or deceased animal please contact BVPD at 440-871-1234. This assists officers in reuniting lost pets.
- Please pick up pet waste if you walk your dogs to do their business.
- Columbia Road Beach is not a dog beach/park. Leash laws still apply!
- Don’t leave your dog in the car. This can be deadly as the summer temperatures rise.
- Consider getting your pets chipped. The Bay Village PD has a chip reader, as do most veterinarians. This will greatly increase the chance that your pet will be returned as quickly as possible.
