GREATER Shepparton City Council reminds residents to register their animals before Friday, April 10.
Registrations for cats and dogs over three months of age are a legal requirement and are free for pets under six months of age.
Registering your cat or dog is one of the most effective ways to ensure they are safely returned to you if they become lost. Registration fees also support Council to deliver a wide range of animal management services including the Shepparton Animal Shelter, Animal Rangers and the investigation and prosecution of serious animal related offences such as dog attacks, animal cruelty and illegal dog or cat breeding.
Once a registration form is finalised, an identification tag will be issued, which is small and conveniently hung on collars with no discomfort to the dog or cat.
Residents with registered pets will receive a renewal notice in the mail.
For further information and to register your pet, visit Council’s website, http://www.shepp.city/petrego or please call Council on 5832 9700 or email council@shepparton.vic.gov.au.
