California city to require $100,000 insurance policy for ‘dangerous dog’ owners

Redlands dog owners whose pets are deemed “vicious” must now carry liability insurance under a tightened city ordinance aimed at holding owners accountable for animal attacks.

Under the updated code, animals would be labeled “potentially dangerous dogs” and “vicious dogs” based on certain behaviors, circumstances and situations. Other changes to the code include definitions for what constitutes a “severe injury” and the duties of animal owners.
