City launches new way to license your pet

Working together with pet owners we are making licensing your pet easier. This new, user-friendly, online Animal Services site has features such as the ability to sign-up for automatic renewal payments, which you told us you wanted.

Go paperless

Our new animal licensing site also allows you to:
• purchase or renew your pet license online;
• pay using Interac and credit card;
• order replacement pet tags online; and
• sign-up to go paperless.

With our new email notifications, never miss a pet licence renewal again. Just log onto the Animal Services site and then select the “Go paperless” button in your contact profile to turn on or off paper renewals and receive email reminders.

Licensing your pet

It’s important to remember that your pet’s license is their ticket home. Licensing your pet also supports our mission to create safe and healthy neighbourhoods. Our licensing fees are used to provide many services to Calgarians, including reuniting lost cats and dogs with owners, educating the public about responsible pet ownership, managing our cat and dog adoption programs and running our volunteer animal socialization programs.
