We are working hard to fix them and making more content available than ever before so expect constant updates.
Animals in Need
Reykjavik Animal Services (DYR) is responsible for capturing and housing stray animals and receiving animals in danger. Animal Services also interact with other organizations, animal owners, their representative associations, and Reykjavik residents. Animal abuse should always be reported.
Animal Abuse
Incidents of animal abuse should be reported immediately to the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority or the police. Reports to the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority should be sent through the IFVA Reporting System, but reports can also be phoned in or submitted by email.
Lost Pets
If you find an animal in Reykjavik that you think has been separated from its owner, you can contact Reykjavik Animal Services (DYR) at 822-7820, where the team can help. Most of the time, for example, dogs and cats have microchips that require special microchip readers. If the animal is found outside of Reykjavik, it is best to check with the relevant Health Department or Service Center in that municipality—the police can also help. There are also helpful groups on Facebook.
