Pet Licences
The City of Leduc requires licencing of all dogs and cats starting six months of age. Failure to purchase a pet licence will result in a bylaw violation. The Animal Licencing and Control bylaw fine is $50.00 for the first offence.
A seized animal will not be released until all licencing fines are paid in full. Fine payments are accepted at the Blackgold Kennels and must be cash. All licenced pets are required to wear a collar and tag. To purchase your pet licence please fill out the pet licence application form.
| Lifetime pet licencing fees | |
| Spayed or neutered cat or dog | $50.00 |
| Unneutered cat or dog | $100.00 |
| Spayed or neutered *restricted dog | $100.00 |
| Replacement licence tag | $5.00 |
*Resricted dog licences must be renewed annually with proof of adequate insurance.
A restricted dog is one that:
- has chased, attacked or bitten any person or animal causing injury and resulting in conviction
- has been made the subject of an order under the Dangerous Dogs Act
- has chased, attacked or bitten any person or animal on more than one occasion, with or without causing physical harm or injury, and resulting in separate convictions under this Bylaw or any predecessor Bylaw.
