East Gippsland Council reminds pet owners to update their cat or dogs details by 16 February 2023
Reminder to pet owners to register or update details of their pets.
Reuniting a lost cat or dog with their owner is far easier when pet registration details are kept up to date, so East Gippsland Council is calling on residents to ensure that their pet has a current registration tag. All cats and dogs from three months of age must be registered by 10 April each year under Victorian legislation.
Pet owners are reminded that from three months of age must be registered by 10 April and necessary changes to registration details before Thursday 16 February
Animal registrations
Animal registration renewals are being sent out soon, so cat and dog owners are asked to make any necessary changes to registration details before Thursday 16 February. New pets must be microchipped before being registered. Mayor, Cr Mark Reeves has called on all pet owners to do the right thing and keep their registration details and payments current.
"Registration fees help provide services for our pets, including education programs, the animal shelter, and monitoring of pet shops, boarding kennels and catteries to ensure that your pet is cared for properly. And a dog or cat is also far easier to reunite with its owner if it is registered and owner details are correct." Cr Reeves said.
Ownership and transfer forms are available at council's Customer Service Centres or its website. To get renewal notices sent by email, visit Receive your animal notice by email page. For a pet that is displaced or no longer with us, in cases of financial hardship, or for further information, contact council's Community Laws team on 5153 9500.
