Re: Neighbor dog attacked my dog
It wouldn't be SPCA, but your city or county's animal control department.
You should send a demand letter to your neighbor by certified, return receipt mail. Keep a copy of the letter. Enclose a copy of your vet's bill. If, by the date you specify in the letter for a response, you don't hear from your neighbor or he resists paying, then you file a small claims lawsuit if the vet's bill is below $7,500, otherwise a limited jurisdiction lawsuit.
