Winnipeg pet owners are required to have their dog or cat licensed or they could be fined under the Responsible Pet Ownership By-law.

“Licensing will help protect your pet in the event your cat or dog gets lost,” said Leland Gordon, Animal Services’ Chief Operating Officer.

If someone finds a cat or dog with a license they should contact 311. City employees will be able to arrange to have the pet returned to its registered owner.

You can license your dog or cat by contacting 311, through the Animal Services Agency website, or visiting the agency in person.
