More about this rule

The rule in plain language

San Antonio Animal Care Services gives that instruction as part of responsible pet ownership and directs owners to follow local animal laws. The city's animal-ordinance guidance also treats owned pets roaming off their property as a violation.

What to keep in mind

Use designated off-leash areas only under their posted rules. A dangerous or aggressive dog, a quarantine, a park restriction, or a special event can impose stricter controls.
