All dogs and cats three months of age and

over in Brimbank must be microchipped,

desexed, and registered with Council.

Pet registration is required by law.

You can register your pet online at

brimbank.vic.gov.au

or at a Council Customer Service Centre.

Registering your pet for the first time?

What you’ll need:

• A copy of your pet’s desexing certificate

• Your pet’s microchip number

Renewing your pet’s registration

Pet registration must be renewed by 10 April each year.

Council will send out a notice to let you know when the

renewal fee is due.

If you’re an eligible pension card holder, you’ll receive

50 per cent off pet registration fees.

If your details change, let Council know (and don’t forget

to update your pet’s microchip details while you’re at it).

Need a lifelong registration tag?

A lifelong registration tag – along with an up-to-date

microchip - is the best way to make sure your pet is

identifiable at all times.

Order a new – or replace a lost – lifelong tag at

brimbank.vic.gov.au

Did you know all dogs in Brimbank aged three months

and over must be desexed, unless exempt?

Desexing may benefit your dog by:

• reducing the risk of a range of health issues,

including cancer

• reducing aggression

Desexing procedures can be performed safely as early

as eight weeks of age.

Desexing your pet early will ensure you will not be

caught by surprise with an unwanted litter.

Speak to your local vet about desexing your dog today.

Your dog may be exempt

from desexing if:

• You have written advice from your vet that

the animal’s health will be negatively impacted

if desexed.

organisation and the animal is registered with that

organisation (current membership and pedigree

certificates must be provided).

Housing your dog correctly is an important part

of being a responsible pet owner.

Dogs “wandering at large” cause a nuisance, are

often distressed, and may attack or harass people

or other animals.

Sometimes, they can also cause road accidents.

Make sure your dog is microchipped and wearing its

registration tag at all times, so that if they do escape

there is a better chance they will make it back home.

Most importantly, make sure your property is secured,

so your dog can’t escape.
