An important notice for all fur-baby owners around the Yarra Ranges: pet registrations are due 10 April.

Keeping your pet’s registration up to date is essential – it allows the council to locate you if your pet goes missing.

All dogs and cats must be microchipped and registered with council by the age of three months.

Pet owners that have registered a puppy prior to being desexed are eligible for a partial refund if proof of desexing is provided within 1 month of registration.

All cats being registered for the first time must be desexed unless the owner is eligible for an exemption.

Pension concession rates for pet registrations are only available to pensioner concession card or veteran card holders.

You can register your pets online, in person at a community link, or by mail.
