Residents in the Shire of Manjimup are being urged to check their pet registrations are up to date, with renewals due by 31 October 2021. Registrations are currently being mailed to residents, if you have not received your renewal over the next week please contact the office on (08) 9771 7777.
It is a legislative requirement that all dogs aged three months or older must be registered and microchipped, and all cats six months or older must be registered, microchipped and sterilised.
Both cats and dogs can be registered in the Shire of Manjimup for one year, three years or life-time. Many residents choose the life-time registration option as it saves time and costs associated with annual renewals.
It is also a good time for pet owners to check that their pets’ registrations and microchip details are up to date, especially if you have moved house or changed phone numbers.
“Whilst registering your pet is a legal requirement, keeping your pet’s registration current and up to date ensures you can be contacted to make arrangements for the safe return of your animal should it be lost or wandering” commented Shire President Paul Omodei.
