PET LICENSING

Please ensure your pets are licensed each and every January 1st. Licensing your pets assists with the safe and prompt return in event of impoundment.

Licenses are available at the Town office during regular business hours. 

The Animal Council By-law 9-2023 was recently updated. The by-law can be downloaded by clicking HERE

Promoting responsible pet ownership is a key component to the changes. Licensing is NOW Required for ALL CATS and DOGS residing within the Town of Arborg. This includes implementing an application process for person(s) wanting more than 2 cats and 2 dogs per property. Pet owners of Intact Animals must complete an application form and apply for a pet license. 

Other documentation needed may include rabies vaccination information, veterinary care and Property Owner permission.
