What Does Boulder County Animal Control Do?

Boulder County Animal Control handles a number of animal-related complaints, including:

• At large or loose dogs
• Excessively noisy, barking dogs
• Sick or injured domestic animals
• Animal bites or injuries from domestic animals
• Suspicions of abuse or neglected animals

In Boulder County, animal control does not handle any wildlife-related issues. If you are bitten or attacked by a wild animal, that should be handled by the Colorado Parks and Wildlife department.

You should seek medical attention after any animal bite. Even superficial animal bites or injuries can have serious complications. In Colorado, the owner may be liable for your medical bills.

What to Do if You Get Bitten by a Dog In Boulder County?

In Colorado, an owner is liable for most injuries caused by dog bites. If a person is bitten by a dog in a public or private place where they are legally allowed to be, the dog owner is liable. It doesn't matter if the dog owner wasn't negligent or if the dog was never aggressive before. 

If you are bitten by a dog in Boulder County, you should report it to animal control and inform the owner as soon as possible.

Report to Animal Control 

There are a few ways to report the bite to Boulder County animal control:

1. Call the Boulder County Sheriff's office. In Boulder, the dispatcher for the sheriff's office can also send out animal control officers
2. File a report online. The sheriff's office does take incident reports online but this is not specific to animal control
3. Visit the Boulder County Sheriff's Office on Flatiron Parkway. Even though the sheriff is in charge of dispatching animal control, that doesn't mean going to the sheriff's office is the best way to get an animal control officer. Animal control officers are often on the road. The sheriff's office will be able to help if you go in person but you may need to wait for an officer.

According to Boulder Animal Control, bites should be reported by the owner or victim within 12 hours of occurrence. The animal in question will be quarantined either at home or at the vet's office. This is a public health measure to ensure the animal does not have rabies.

Inform the Owner 

After you've contacted animal control, it is important that you inform the owner of the animal. The owner may already be aware of what has happened but sending a formal letter is always a good idea. This letter, called the demand letter, will let the owner know what your damages are and that you are entitled to payment. 

If you seek compensation for medical expenses, you'll need to start the process by sending a formal letter to the owner. If the owner covers your expenses then good. If not, you may need to escalate to Small Claims court.
