The dog warden service is included in Division G of the council's 2025 budget, a category that also includes land and river drainage maintenance and horse control.
Kildare County Council has confirmed it has no immediate plans to increase its dog warden team.
The current setup, managed by the I.S.P.C.A., consists of just two dog wardens covering the entire county
The council said it will "review the position" if it receives any information from the Department of Rural and Community Development.
The dog warden service is included in Division G of the council's 2025 budget, a category that also includes land and river drainage maintenance and horse control.
The proposed budget for Division G in 2025 is €1.4 million, an increase from €1.3 million in 2024.
Cork, which has a slightly larger population than Kildare, has five full time dog wardens.
