The Township of Guelph/Eramosa Dog Control By-law requires every dog owner to register his or her dog and obtain a dog licence each year.
It is important to get an annual dog tag for the following reasons:
- Registering your dog demonstrates responsible pet ownership, and helps the Guelph Humane Society with the identification and safe return of your dog.
- If your dog goes missing, having him licensed drastically improves your chances of getting him returned to you safely.
- Reduces the stress a dog may experience from staying at the shelter
- Allows the Guelph Humane Society to contact the dog owner in the event of an emergency to make vital decisions regarding their care.
- It's the law! The cost of a license is far less than the penalty for being caught without one and saves the cost of impound and boarding fees.
