Pet owners are being asked to back a campaign to see local authorities creating public toilets for dogs in parks and other popular locations. It comes as a council in Ireland unveiled its own public toilet for dogs.
Experts at Years.com believe the dog public toilets could be set up across the country in a bid to clampdown on fouling. Dublin City Council's initiative has its own "pee post" located in a small rectangular area enclosed by a wooden fence.
The area also includes free waste bags to encourage owners to pick up after their pets while away from the public toilets. Experts believe similar facilities should be open for canines who are caught short.
