Owners face fines for not diluting dog urine in Torremolinos

Dog owners in Torremolinos are now obliged to dilute their pets' urine in the streets, or face fines of between 75 and 500 euros.

"With this measure we are responding to an important demand from residents that will result in the improvement of community life and give our municipality a good image," said the mayor, José Ortiz.

Local police have said they will be "especially vigilant".

The council recommends dog owners dilute the urine using a solution consisting of water (750ml), vinegar (240ml) and soap (10ml).
