Dogs
Dogs are the largest animal population in the city. Despite being fully domesticated, they can still cause a nuisance (poo on the pavement, excessive barking, etc.) Did you know that 500 tonnes of dog poo are removed from the city's public spaces each year by our Service Hygiène?
Dog owners must live up to their civic responsibilities, obey the rules and use their common sense at all times.
What you can do
- When walking your dog, train it to relieve itself in the city's dog areas (located in every district), and remember to use the "Bravo" bags to pick up their poo. Please note: article 9 of the City of Luxembourg's general regulations on public order and safety requires dog owners to collect any poo their animals leave behind. Locations of dog parks and additional information can be found in the "Walking your dog" section.
Cats
Cats are very popular as pets. However, there are rules and responsibilities involved in owning a cat.
What you can do
- Do not leave food outside the home, because this also attracts other animals (foxes, rats, etc.).
- The Grand Ducal Regulation of 5 December 2018 requires that all cats be tagged with a microchip. The data of all such electronically tagged cats is stored in a computer database. The same regulation stipulates that any cat with access to the outdoors must be spayed or neutered.
