Holiday makers who take their dogs when travelling around regional Western Australia are being reminded to keep them safe from 1080 baits.
1080 baits are used extensively by farmers and pastoralists throughout the State on both private and government lands to control feral pests, including wild dogs, foxes, pigs and rabbits, which threaten livestock and biodiversity. Tourists travelling with pet dogs are urged to consider putting them on a lead, muzzling when off lead, or avoid bringing them on holiday to prevent them being poisoned.
Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) regional biosecurity coordinator Lindsay Strange said while the use of 1080 baits was strictly regulated, pet owners needed to take responsibility for the safety of their animals. DPIRD will distribute a ‘1080 baiting: a must for pest control but a risk to domestic pets’ flyer to tourist hotspots as a further reminder for dog owners to keep their pets close. If poisoning is suspected, seek immediate medical attention or veterinary assistance or contact the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.

SAFE Broome is a foster based non for profit animal rescue, and we are trying to ensure holiday makers who are travelling with their pets are aware that they are entering a region when Ehrlichiosis (Ehrlichia canis) is present. It is caused by a dog being bitten by an infection tick. Tick prevention is the key to keeping our dogs SAFE.
A healthy and fit dog is a happy dog. The Shire provides open spaces for exercising dogs at Cable Beach, Gantheaume Point, Riddell Beach and Entrance Point. In addition, dog exercise areas are currently being trialled in parks around Broome.
Whilst in these exercise areas, dogs must be under control and the owner or handler must carry a leash.
Effective from May 2025, changes have been made to dog exercise areas based on community feedback received in the 2024 Animal Management Survey. The aim of these changes is to improve safety for people, dogs, and other animals.

On-Leash Areas: Dogs must be on a leash in public places, unless signage indicates otherwise.
Off-Leash Areas: In designated zones, dogs can go off-leash, but they must always stay under control and within your sight. For example, you need to be able to call your dog back to you if you need to. Look for advisory signs regarding on-leash and off-leash areas.
Clean Up: Always pick up after your dog and dispose of waste responsibly.
