Dog licensing

Dogs over the age of four months are required to be licenced. A dog licence is a pet's best bet for a safe return if they escape or become lost, as Animal Control Officers make every reasonable effort to return licensed dogs to their rightful owners. You can buy a licence at the City Hall Service Centre and at most pet stores in Prince George.

Does your dog already have a licence in need of renewal?
