Important Notice

As of Jan. 1, 2012, there will be changes to pet licensing. The Dec. 31 expiry date is being eliminated. All pet owners will receive a renewal notice and will be assigned an adjusted renewal date which will be effective for 1 year. This change will improve efficiencies and will assist Animal Services with the transition period during the launch of a new on-line pet licensing renewal system. A renewal notice will be sent to you one month prior to your pet's licence expiry date. The notice will include a unique Pet ID#, Pin #, fee amount and a new renewal date. All of this information will be required to renew your pet's licence on-line. The tag you received in 2011 will be your pet's permanent tag and will remain valid as long as it is renewed annually. A new tag will not be issued.

Pet owners wishing to make changes to an existing pet licence or purchase a licence for the first time must do so in person at any one of our licensing outlets or at the Animal Services Centre, 882 Alloy Place, Thunder Bay, ON.
