You should talk to the RSPCA online or on 0300 1234 999 for help with an animal that is:
- at risk of cruelty or neglect
- trapped or injured in a way that needs specialist help
The website also has general advice for helping animals yourself.
Most issues to do with dogs should be reported to us.
Livestock, farm animals and wildlife
We help the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to apply laws in our area around livestock, farm animals and wildlife - with assistance from other parts of the government and organisations like the RSPCA.
The government has guidance on keeping livestock.
You must understand the laws around livestock worrying if you:
- take a dog on a walk near livestock (cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, horses, poultry)
- own livestock in an area where dogs may walk
Please contact us if you are worried about livestock or farm animals.
