Ventura does not impose breed-specific legislation (BSL) banning particular dog breeds. California state law (Food & Agriculture Code 31683) prohibits cities from enacting breed-specific bans. However, dogs of any breed declared dangerous or vicious face enhanced restrictions including muzzle and containment requirements.
Ventura does not ban or restrict any specific dog breeds. California Food & Agriculture Code Section 31683 prohibits breed-specific legislation, preventing local governments from declaring dogs dangerous based solely on breed. However, individual dogs of any breed that bite or menace people may be declared potentially dangerous or vicious through the administrative hearing process. Vicious dogs must be spayed/neutered, microchipped, maintain liability insurance, and may be required to be muzzled in public and kept in secure enclosures. Ventura County Animal Services handles dangerous animal designations.
Owners of dogs declared vicious who fail to comply with containment and muzzle requirements face fines and potential impoundment or euthanasia of the animal.
