Ownership of a dog or cat comes with responsibilities to ensure the safety of our community and the wellbeing and safety of your pet. By law all pet owners are responsible for having their pet microchipped and registered.
The Companion Animals Act 1998 requires pet owners to have their pets microchipped and registered.
You need to ensure your contact details up to date for your lost pet to be returned to you as quickly as possible.
Dog owners have access to 9 off-leash dog parks in the Georges River area, where dogs can run, exercise and socialise leash-free with other dogs and visitors.
If Council declares a dog to be dangerous or menacing, owners must by law, follow strict rules including how the dog is to be kept.
Information on making compliants about animals
The NSW Government has introduced annual permits for non-desexed cats and restricted and dangerous dogs as part of its commitment to promoting responsible pet ownership and improving animal welfare standards.
