Pet Licences

City of Cold Lake
Pet owners living in the City of Cold Lake are required to purchase an annual pet licence for any dog or cat over six (6) months of age. If your pet gets lost or is found running at large, a valid pet licence and collar tag is their ticket home. It ensures Animal Care and Control staff are able to identify your pet and contact you to come pick it up.
There will be no charge for pet licences in 2023, but your pet still needs a 2023 tag. Owners can get their pet licence and tags at City Hall or by applying online.
