Responsible Pet Ownership

Licensing your pet

In the RMWB, it is a pet owner’s lawful duty to register pets within 1 day of becoming a pet owner or taking up residency within the Municipality. There are many benefits to licensing your pets: should your pet ever get lost, a registered pet is easily identifiable and returned to its owners as quickly as possible.

Having the most accurate pet population documented can help identify the needs for our region in terms of recreational pet services, health services, and emergency response services.

Licensing your pet is extremely affordable! For only $25 annually, all neutered pets (cats and dogs) can be official RMWB residents. If your pet is not neutered, the fee is $60. Pet owners over the age of 60 years can register their furry companions at no cost!
