Tell us about a dead animal
You can use this service to tell us about a dead animal that you find on the road or in a public space. This includes wild animals like badgers and foxes, as well as domestic pets such as cats and dogs.
Before you start
We can't clear dead animals on private land or private property.

You must do this as quickly as you can, whether the animal is killed or not.
