Is your dog registered with your local council?

Council's Local Laws Officers are currently door knocking Knox residents and those found with unregistered pets will receive a fine of $244 for each unregistered animal found - dogs and cats. Even if your pet doesn't go outside, under State Government Legislation it still needs to be registered
Free registration for the current registration period is available for new owners, who have owned their dog or cat for less than one month, have had them microchipped, and can provide proof of purchase in the form of a receipt. Cats being registered for the first time this year must also be desexed. This will only apply to newly registered cats, and not to those already currently registered.
For more information about registering your pet, call Knox Council on 9298 8000 or visit www.knox.vic.gov.au
