It’s time to think about registering your dogs for the 2025/26 financial year.

The new dog registration year starts on 1 July; please register your dog(s) before 31 July to avoid penalties. 2025/26 fees will be updated on our website in June 2025.

If your dog is currently registered, you’ll be sent a re-registration form to the most current postal address you have listed.

Please ensure you let us know of any change of ownership or address and if your dog has passed away, as you may be entitled to a partial refund of the registration fee.

You can call in and speak to our Customer Service staff or call us on 06 374 4080 or 06 376 0110 for more details on how to register your best mate.
