Obtaining or renewing a pet license in Calgary is now easier.
On Monday, the City of Calgary launched its new Animal Service website pets.calgary.ca allowing owners to take care of acquiring pet licenses entirely online.
“A pet’s licence is their ticket home if they ever become lost and we want to make it as easy as possible to reunite the pet with their owner,” Ryan Jestin, director of Calgary Community Standards said in a statement. “The new site is intuitive and easy-to-use and includes new features such as different payment methods and the ability to sign-up for automatic renewals and reminder notifications.”
The website can be used to purchase or renew a pet license online, as well as manage their profile and pet information.
It even allows them to update other information, in case any changes need to be made with their pet’s current license.
To use these features, the owner must first register and create an account, if they haven’t done so already. Once registered, they have access to online features such as :
- Purchase a pet license online
- Go paperless and receive both renewal reminders and receipt through email
- Pet owners can make changes to existing pet licenses
- Sign up for automatic renewal payments
- Order a replacement tag if it is lost
- Pay using any major credit card or Interact
- Update profile or pet information
All cats and dogs in Calgary over three months of age must be licensed with The City of Calgary. Without a pet license, the owner will be facing a $250 fine.
Other ways to license your pet includes visiting Animal Services Centre, or by calling 311 if you live within Calgary, or 403- 268- CITY (2489) if you live outside Calgary.
