There are many cherished dogs in Sidney and no end to beautiful walking routes for pets and their families to enjoy.
It is important to note that:
All dogs over the age of six months must be licensed in the Town of Sidney. Once licensed, your dog will be issued a permanent tag and a new decal each year you renew the license. The tag includes a 24-hour phone number that can help reunite lost pets with their owners.
Dog licenses must be renewed annually, and are valid for the calendar year from January to December. You will receive a $5.00 discount when you renew before the last working day in February.
To register for a new dog license, please complete the Town’s Dog Licence Form and email it to finance@sidney.ca.
Once your dog account has been set up, payment can be made online.
The annual cost of a dog license is:
| Spayed or Neutered |
Not Spayed or Neutered |
|
| Renewal, before last working day in February | $20.00 | $30.00 |
| Renewal, after last working day in February | $25.00 | $35.00 |
| New Licence, issued January 1 to June 30 | $20.00 | $30.00 |
| New Licence, issued July 1 to December 31 | $10.00 | $20.00 |
You can access information about your dog account through our online service MySidney
Registration is easy – first, create a MySidney profile using your email; then, add your Town of Sidney accounts (e.g. dog license, property tax, utility bill) to your profile.
If you paid online, by mail or via the drop-box, your new dog decal will be mailed to you once the payment has been processed.
