If you register your dog or cat before the end of this month a special discount is available, and all residents of the Whitsundays are urged to take advantage of this offer to ensure the safety of your pet.
Mayor Julie Hall said that registrations for pet owners are due now with the discount period ending July 31 2023.
“Registering your dog or cat is part of being a responsible pet owner,” she said.
“It gives our Local Law Officers the very best chance of finding and returning your dog or cat should it become lost or wander from its yard.
“I would also like to remind residents that only two dogs or two cats are allowed per property, unless a multiple dog or cat permit has been approved.
“It’s also timely to remind residents about their responsibility as a pet owner with dogs at large and barking being the two most common complaints.
“Residents are encouraged to look at ways they can make behavioural changes with their pets and minimise barking and other adverse behaviours.”
Be aware that unregistered animals may result in an infringement, so make sure to visit Council’s Customer Service Centre to find out how you can register your pet.
