Pet Policy

Ashford Borough Council Housing recognises that pet ownership can be very beneficial for the wellbeing of our tenants, improving mental health, reducing loneliness and can help maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.

We have a pet policy for all our tenants to allow pets in all our properties whilst ensuring the wellbeing of every animal and the surrounding community.

The Council will liaise with the dog warden and animal welfare organisations to ensure the best possible advice, information and expertise are readily available to help tenants look after their pet.
