Animal licences

All dogs and cats over three months old must have a current Cochrane animal licence and wear it when off your property. Licences help Animal Services quickly return lost animals and ensure your furry loved one is recognized as part of a family, not a stray.  

Receive, pay and manage your animal licence

To register a new animal, complete the online Animal licence application form.  

Annual renewal and updates  

Animal licences are valid from January 1 to December 31. Renewal notices are sent in January each year.  

Please keep your account up-to-date. Let us know if:  

  • you have moved within or outside Cochrane 
  • your pet is no longer in your care 
  • your pet has been altered, tattooed or microchipped
