Owners registering a dog or cat for the first time will not be entitled to the reduced fee for micro-chipping alone, but reduced fees may be available if your animal is desexed and micro-chipped. If you require an exemption to desexing your pet, there is now an additional requirement that a veterinarian must personally examine an animal and state in writing why the health of the animal would be harmed if it was desexed.
You can now only be defined as the owner of a dog or cat if you are over eighteen.
Please consult directly with your council to determine any specific requirements relating to this registration.
