Register your cat or dog

You must register your cat or dog with Wyndham City Council once they reach three months old. 

To register your pet, you will need: 

• your pet’s microchip number or certificate 
• a desexing certificate from a qualified vet (or exemption documents if your pet is exempt from desexing) 
• your concession card if you have one. 

Register your pet

You will need to log in to your customer account to register your pet. If you do not have a customer account, you will be able to create one before you register your pet. 

You can also apply by email, post or in person by printing the Register a cat or dog form (PDF 355 KB).

Cats must be desexed to be registered. Dogs do not need to be desexed, but you will get a discount on your registration if your dog is desexed. See Desexing your pet for more information. 

Registration periods

All pet registrations renew on 10 April every year. Your first registration period will be from the date you first register to the following April. 

If your cat or dog hasn’t been registered in Wyndham City before, your first registration period may be free. 

Your pet will not be eligible for a free registration period if: 

• it has been registered with Wyndham City Council before 
• it has been involved in an attack 
• it has been involved in an enforcement action or prosecution 
• it is a dangerous or menacing dog
• it is a restricted breed dog.

Renew your pet’s registration

You will receive a registration renewal notice by post or email around four weeks before 10 April each year. You will need to pay your registration before this date. 

If you would prefer to have your registration renewal notice sent to you by email, you can update your preferences through your EzyBill account. 

Renew registration

See your registration notice for more ways to pay. 

Let us know if you have moved or if your pet is no longer with you by filling in the Change of details form.

Lost tags

If your pet has lost their registration tag, you can buy a new one by logging on to our customer portal.

Find your pet in the My Animals section and click or tap on More in the top left corner of the page (desktop) or the three dots in the top menu bar (mobile). You will be able to request a replacement tag. We will send you an invoice for the cost of the replacement tag. 

Log in

If you do not have a customer account, you will be able to create one at the link. Once you have registered, you will need to wait a wait for your pet to be linked to your new account. This may take a couple of days. 

Damaged tags

If your pet has damaged their tag, bring it to us and we will replace it for free. You can do this by visiting: 

• the Wyndham Civic Centre
• the Point Cook Community Centre
• the Manor Lakes Community Centre
• the Tarneit Community Centre.
