At Animal Services, we encourage responsible pet ownership through licensing, public education and enforcement. Licensing fees, not tax dollars, fund our volunteer, public education and animal adoption programs, the operation of our vet-inspected animal shelter and many other services. Our Responsible Pet Ownership bylaw is based on four principles:
- License and provide permanent identification for pets.
- Spay or neuter pets.
- Provide training, physical care, socialization and medical attention for companion pets.
- Do not allow pets to become a threat or nuisance in the community.

Pet Licensing Campaign
From November 9 to November 30, The City of Calgary Animal & Bylaw Services will be running a pet licensing campaign. Pet owners who have never previously licensed their dog or cat can apply for a free 6-month licence. Any owner who has let their pet's licence lapse can renew the licence with no back charges for the lapsed licence.
Animal Services Centre Clinic Grand Opening
The City of Calgary Animal Services celebrated the grand opening of its new vet clinic on August 26, 2009. The 2,500 square foot clinic will play a key role in helping to reduce the number of stray and unwanted pets in Calgary. |
