If you like saving a bit of money when it comes to dog registration, make sure to register your pooches before 31 July to get a discounted fee of $60, instead of $75, and avoid the potential penalties for having an unregistered dog.

Registration renewal forms were sent to owners in June — if you haven’t received your registration form, please let us know and we can re-send this out.

If you are new to the district or your dog has not previously been registered with Selwyn District Council, you can download a new form from the Council website. All dogs over three months of age including working dogs need to be registered.

Thanks to the metal lifetime One Tags owners won’t be issued a new tag for their canine and can keep the one they already have. If damaged or lost, a replacement tag can be issued for $5.

Dog registration fees help to pay for a range of Council services and facilities for your four-legged friends, including providing dog safety education programmes and microchipping clinics, reuniting lost or wandering dogs with their human friends or finding them a new fur-ever home.
