Pet owners will be charged more if their dog strays - under new plans which are awaiting Tynwald approval.
It costs between £100 and £140 for a dog to be picked up, kenneled, cared for and returned home - however currently owners are only being charged £12 a day.
Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister Richard Ronan says things need to change:
From April this will increase by £10 - if a dog then strays again within the year an additional bill of £25 will be issued.
Mr Ronan says it's time for people to be more responsible:
Three Island residents on King's New Year Honours List
Ferry sailings cancelled because of bad weather
Snow for New Year's Day?
Pet shop needs support after pre-Xmas premises blow
Will Island get World War 2 Bank Holiday?
Buy only five new clothing items to save environment
Did you see bus stop fight in Castletown?
New Year's Eve aurora?
