As part of its effort to address the issue of pet overpopulation, the City of Kitchener has implemented higher licencing fees for non-sterilized dogs. Before a licence for a sterilized dog is issued, owners must submit a copy of their certificate of sterilization or be able to prove sterilization.
To keep our records up to date, please contact our office at (519) 745-5615 if you no longer own or have a dog. If your dog has passed away, we are so sorry for your loss. Please also contact us so we do not contact you further.
