Animals Running at Large
8/17/2026
???? KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE & UNDER CONTROL! ????
PLEASE LEASH YOUR DOGS & CATS WHEN OUTSIDE
The City of Kandiyohi would like to remind all pet owners that dogs and cats are NOT allowed to run at large within the City.
???? A LEASH IS THE SAFEST CHOICE
When your dog or cat is outside your property, please keep them on a leash and accompanied by a responsible person.
City Ordinance § 91.02 requires dogs and cats to be effectively restrained and under the control of a responsible person.
Allowing your pet to roam freely — even if they are friendly — can create safety concerns for neighbors, children, other pets, motorists, and the animal itself.
⚠️ RUNNING AT LARGE IS A VIOLATION
A dog or cat found running at large may be subject to pickup and impoundment, and violation of the ordinance may result in penalties.
???? PET OWNER REMINDERS
- Keep dogs and cats restrained and under control.
- Dogs over 6 months old must be licensed with the City.
- Dogs and cats must have current rabies and distemper vaccinations.
- Dog license tags must be worn on the dog's collar.
BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.
PROTECT YOUR PET.
USE A LEASH.
