Animal Registration
Microchip Your Pet
The Companion Animals Act 1998 makes it compulsory to microchip all puppies and kittens by 12 weeks of age and registered by 6 months of age. Any dogs or cats who change owners need to be microchipped and registered. Microchipped animals are registered on the NSW Companion Animals Register. Owner information needs to be kept up to date. Contact Council if you need to change any details.
How Much Does Registration Cost?
Lifetime registration on the NSW Companion Animals Register is available from Blue Mountains City Council. This is a one off payment and the animal is registered for life, anywhere in New South Wales.
Microchip Number, Address, phone and contact details need to be provided in writing to the local Council. Registration or Change of Ownership / Address forms can be downloaded from the Department of Local Government website.$150 for undesexed dog or cat
$40 for a dog or cat owned by a registered breeder
$40 for a desexed dog or cat
$15 for a desexed dog or cat owned by a pensioner
Why Should I Register My Companion Animal?
-
Owners of pets wearing identification are notified when their pet is being held at an Animal Care Facility.
-
Often pets with registration are redeemed to their owners by Animal Control Officers in the field instead of being detained at the Animal Care Facility.
-
It's the law!
