• Don’t leave unattended dogs free to roam
  • Uncontrolled or unsupervised dogs can scavenge on dead sheep and become infected
  • Dogs do not respect boundary fences and a stray dog has the potential to infect many surrounding properties
  • All dogs require quality exercise every day whether working or not – so when they are running free they should be under direct supervision to make sure they cannot scavenge sheep or goat carcasses
  • Restrain or tie dogs up when they are not working or exercising under direct supervision
  • Attach short restraining chains to the collar while out working – this allows any dog that is inclined to wander to be chained to a suitable object when not in use
  • Feed dogs regularly (at least once daily) to help prevent scavenging
