Registration
A tiny microchip is your lost pet's best way
home.
Council pounds in NSW receive more than 30,000
stray pets every year and nationally the RSPCA receives over
100,000 dogs and cats!
Dogs and cats in NSW are required
by law (Companion Animal Act 1998) to be microchipped
by 12 weeks of age or
prior
to being sold or given away.
Registration of all dogs and cats
in NSW is required by 6 months of age.
Lifetime registration fees
are discounted for dogs and cats
if...
desexed
owned by registered breeders
owned by pensioners
racing greyhounds
Assistance dogs such as guide dogs for visually or hearing impaired people and genuine working dogs and racing greyhounds can be lifetime registered for free.
Lifetime Registration fees in NSW:
$20 for desexed cats/dogs owned by a pensioner; $59 for desexed cats/dogs and for cats/dogs owned by registered breeders; $189 for undesexed cats and dogs.
All dogs must wear a collar and ID
tag.
Owner details are stored in the NSW
Companion Animal Register which is administered and can be
accessed by your local council. Our practice cannot change or edit
these government records. Your pet's microchip contains a unique ID
number which is linked to your details in the register
database.
If you move, or your pet changes ownership, or your pet passes away or you lose your pet - remember to notify your local council so they can update your pet's registration and microchip records.
To assist with this process we can scan your pet
and provide you with a "Change of Details Form" at no charge. You
submit this form to local council to update your
details.
