In the event your dog goes missing, a dog licence and tag are the best tools you can have to ensure your dog is returned.
Licensing your pet is a simple and important way to be a responsible pet owner. Your licence fee helps support services that benefit you and your pet, while also promoting a safe, welcoming, and animal‑friendly community through education and enforcement.
Dog licences are required in the District of Sechelt and must be worn on the dog's collar at all times. Licences must be renewed every year by January 1st, renewal notices will be sent to owners before the due date.
Owners can purchase dog licences and renewals online or at the Municipal Hall, 5797 Cowrie Street.
