How to be a responsible pet owner

Keeping a pet is a pleasure but it comes with responsibilities under both State and Local laws.

To keep your dog lawfully in our Town, there are four key things you must do:

Register your pet

All pets need to be registered by 31 October each year. For more information on how to register your pet with the Town, click here

Keep your pet’s vaccinations up to date

Being a responsible pet owner means having your dog or cat vaccinated against diseases that can be avoided by a trained veterinarian. This is a quick and easy method to keep pets safe from several dangerous illnesses.

Similar to people, vaccinations function by teaching your pet’s immune system how to identify and react to an infection. This way, should your pet come into contact with the disease later on, they will be more equipped to fight it off.

Microchip your pet

In situations where Rangers or residents encounter a lost pet lacking other identification, an updated microchip record can be invaluable. Our Rangers can quickly scan for a microchip and retrieve owner details from the corresponding company

If your pet is microchipped, there is a far higher chance that you will find them again if they become lost.

Maintaining current contact information in the database is crucial to ensure that, if you move or change phone numbers, you may still be reached in case your pet becomes missing or stray.

Maintaining up-to-date registration and microchip information for your pet is not only beneficial but also responsible. Doing so expedites the process of reuniting lost pets with their owners and minimises the need for exhaustive searches. Timely updates can also prevent unnecessary stays and fees at the impound.

De-sex your pet

If a dog or cat isn’t going to be bred, we advise having them desexed. Desexing an animal can help make it easier to control and less aggressive.

Australia has an excessive number of healthy animals put to death every year as a result of overcrowding. Animals are accidentally bred in a lot of cases.

It is less expensive to register a desexed dog or cat. Over one-third of the registration fee can be avoided.

Benefits of desexing include:

  • lessening territorial behaviour like spraying indoors
  • decreasing the likelihood that pets may stray or fight
  • the reduction of overcrowding
  • the likelihood of pets engaging in antisocial behaviour is lower
  • assisting in lowering the chance of developing specific cancers.
