Why License your Pet?

Page Banner
​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​Under the ​​ Brampton ​​Animal Service By-law, all dogs and cats in Brampton must be licensed with the City each anniversary date.

You might be saying “but my dog never leaves my side – he’ll never go missing!” Or “I have an indoor cat – how can she go missing if she never goes outside?”

We’ve heard it all before. No one expects their pet to go missing, but it only takes a moment for that well well-trained dog to get spooked and run, or for that indoor cat to slip outside.

​Accidents happen, and licensing is the best way to ensure that lost pets get home safely.
