Pets

Dog in Edmonton.

Pets bring a community to life and are an important part of many Edmonton families. Pet ownership is regulated under the
Animal Licensing and Control Bylaw and the City of Edmonton's Animal Control Services works with pet owners to help ensure pets are a positive addition to the community.

 

Owning a Pet in Edmonton

Pets are a great addition to our city, but there are some obligations you have as a pet owner.

Lost Pets

If you have lost or found a pet, we can help.

Off-leash Parks

There are over 40 sites in Edmonton where your dog can run and play without having you on the other end of the leash.

Pet Licences

All cats and dogs six months or older must have a valid pet licence. Pet licences are affordable and available online.

Restricted Dogs

There are certain dogs that tend to be more aggressive. It is not illegal to own a dog like this, but there are some additional regulations that apply.

Unwanted Cats on Private Property

It is illegal for cats to roam on private property without permission from the property owner. If you have an unwanted cat on your property, you can humanely trap it and bring it to us.
