It’s time to renew your pet registration

All cat and dog registrations are due by 31 October, whether you’ve opted for a one or three-year registration.

If you’re the forgetful type, make life easier by choosing a lifetime registration - set and forget for good!

In WA, all dogs over three months old and all cats over six months must be registered with your local government. The City’s pet registration period runs annually from 1 November to 31 October, regardless of the month in which the pet is registered.

Registration helps our rangers reunite lost pets with their owners quickly and safely.

If you’re registering your pet for the first time, you’ll need to complete a Cat and Dog Registration form and provide some key documents, like proof of microchipping and sterilisation.

Not only does lifetime registration save you time, it can also save money, and if your pet sadly passes within three years, you may be eligible for a partial refund.

Things to know:

Dogs

• Must be registered and microchipped from three months of age.
