Lansing Dog Bite Injuries & Laws

If you own a dog, you carry the responsibility of following the dog bite laws in the city in which you live. Almost every city has a set of laws that apply to dog owners. In Lansing, there are a set of laws that apply to dog owners and they can be found in the Lansing City Ordinances. The Lansing dog bite laws include:

610.02. Dogs running at large; nuisance; leash requirement.

(a) No dog owner shall permit his or her dog to run at large within the City. A dog running at large in violation of this chapter at least twice within any continuous six-month period of time is hereby deemed to be a nuisance.

(b) A dog owner is required to confine or secure his or her dog within the limits of the owner’s premises, except when the dog is securely tethered on a leash and under the control of a person holding the leash who is capable of restraining the dog at all times.

The victim of a Lansing dog bite will most likely file a report with either the local Lansing police or local Animal Control agency. When a report is filed, it is necessary to obtain the report. For a report filed with the Police Department in Lansing, you should request the Animal Control report at the following location:

Lansing Police Department, 120 W. Michigan Avenue, Lansing, MI 48933
