Dog Tags

Dog tags are an essential part of responsible pet ownership, and are required for all dog owners in Georgian Bluffs. Licensing your dog helps ensure a quick reunion if they are ever lost, keeps our records up-to-date, and supports effective animal control in the community.

Each year, Georgian Bluffs sends out renewal invoices to previous tag holders, but if you’re a new dog owner or have recently moved to the area, you can register your dog at any time.

Why Dog Tags are Important

Dog tags are more than just a legal requirement; they help identify your dog if they go missing, making it easier for animal control or neighbours to contact you. Additionally, licensing supports local efforts to keep Georgian Bluffs safe and welcoming for both people and pets.

Dog Tag Fees and Pricing

In accordance with Animal Control By-Law 79-2013, dog owners are required to license their dogs annually, with a maximum of three dogs per household (exceptions apply for Guide Dogs, Service Dogs, Working Dogs, and Hunting Dogs).

Please contact the Clerk's office at 519-376-2729 for information about kennel, breeding, or boarding licenses.
