Your FAQ

Question: Which dead animals will the Isle of Wight Council pick up when found on the public highway.

Answer: If one of the following animals are killed on a highway, we will pick up cats/kittens, dogs, foxes, badgers and swans but will not pick up rats, ferrets, birds, pheasants or squirrels. Cats and dogs will be collected and taken to Pets at Rest who will scan the animal and contact the owner, if it is chipped.
