Pet registration fees waived
The City of South Perth is encouraging its residents to be responsible pet owners by waiving pet registration fees this financial year - fur real.
Pet registrations renewals are due on 31 October and this year the fee for lifetime registrations for sterilised dogs and cats has been waived. One-year registrations for unsterilised dogs are also waived to encourage owners to have them sterilised in the coming year. Charges will still apply to unsterilised dogs for three-year or lifetime registrations.
Registering your pet and ensuring they wear their registration tag on their collar helps the City to reunite lost animals with their owners. It is a requirement of the Dog Act 1976 and Cat Act 2011.
Pet owners will soon receive their completed registration renewal and registration tag via post. If you have not yet registered your pet, please visit our website to complete an online registration form.
In WA, all dogs over the age of three months must be microchipped and registered, and all cats over the age of six months must be microchipped, sterilised and registered with the local government where you reside.
Registering your dog
To register your dog, you will need to provide proof of microchipping. We encourage you to have your dog sterilised to prevent increasing the population of unwanted dogs and puppies in shelters.
Registering your cat
In WA, all cats over the age of six months must be sterilised, microchipped and registered. To apply for cat registration in the City, you need to provide proof of sterilisation and microchipping.
If you are unable to register your pet online or in-person at the City of South Perth Civic Centre, please call us on 9474 0777.
