Dog Licences
The Township of Malahide provides Dog Control Services in accordance with By-law No. 05-71. The Township of Malahide requires all dogs to be licenced. Licences must be purchased each year as per the Dog Licencing By-law.
Why Licence your Dog
- If your dog goes missing, having your dog licenced drastically improves your chance of getting them back safely.
- A licence is immediately visible to anyone who finds your pet and shows that your pet belongs to someone.
- Your dog is returned to its home faster and spends less time in the shelter.
- If your dog is loose or involved in an emergency situation, the licence provides information needed to contact you.
- It is a requirement to licence your dog. If you do not, you are in contravention of the By-law.
