There are more facilities than indicated here. There is a vet in the neighbourhood itself and a church within walking distance. There is a dog walking area nearby. As for hygiene, there is always rubbish next to the bins, especially bulky waste. People just dump it without reporting it. There is little or no control over this. It doesn't look good for the neighbourhood. What I find strange is that there is also an anti-squat house in the area.
