Canada Post would to remind all dog owners to keep their pets inside or behind a fence during deliveries.
OXFORD COUNTY - Canada Post is reminding everyone to keep your dogs inside during deliveries.
Around 36% of homes in Canada have dogs. Canada Post employees see them everyday when dropping off your mail and parcels. They want to get the safety message out now as kids are at home during the day and weather starts to warm up.
In a press release, Canada Post is asking everyone to keep those furry friends at bay during deliveries.
"As much as we love our canine pets, they are protective of their home and their family, and it’s impossible for delivery agents to know how any dog will react when they approach your home to deliver the mail. Dog incidents can range from encounters with threatening dogs to being attacked and bitten."
They specifically ask dog owners to not open the door during deliveries or allow your dog to approach employees when they are out in the community.
It makes it really hard to adhere to physical distancing when owners need to retrieve dogs.
There delivery agents are also seeing dogs wandering in neighbourhoods, which can cause further anxiety. Please make sure your dog is restrained and has no way to roam free.
