Licence & Fee Schedule
Pet licence
All dogs and cats over three months old must have a current Town of Cochrane licence.
Animal License fees cover the calendar year from January 1 - December 31st. Renewal notices are sent in January each year for registered owners. Register online for your pet’s licence, or visit our administrative office at the Cochrane RancheHouse (101 RancheHouse Road) during regular office hours (Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm).
For more information on licensing and responsible pet ownership, review the Animal Bylaw, which outlines the authority for licensing, regulation and control of animals within the Town of Cochrane.
Be a responsible pet owner: renew your pet's licence annually.
Dogs
Dogs must wear a current Town licence at all times when off their owner’s property. A dog licence allows animal services to return your missing dog quickly. It also lets strangers know that your pooch is not a stray and wants to be reunited with his or her family.
Cats
One of the most important things you can do to keep your cat healthy and safe is to prevent it from roaming at large in Cochrane. Cats that roam can easily become lost; a licence will ensure a swift reunion should your cat become lost.
