A dog licence and accompanying identification tag are required for every dog in Nanaimo over the age of 12 weeks. Licenses are sold for $30. A discount of $5.00 is available if paid on or before February 28 of the licensing year. Alternatively, if a person becomes the owner of a new dog after July 1st of the licensing year, the fee is reduced to $20.00.

Key Points

Dog owners are required to purchase their dog a licence every year. Owners of existing dogs will pay a fee of $25 dollars if the licence is bought before Feb 28. A new license for a new dog will cost $20 if purchased after July 1st.
A dog license acts as a critical piece of ID. In the event a lost or missing dog is found, the dog's tag can be used to contact the owner.
A dog licence can be purchased at the City of Nanaimo Services and Resource Centre located at 411 Dunsmuir St., Oliver Woods Community Centre and the Animal Shelter.
