Familiarize yourself with the City of Edmonton's updated Bylaw
In May of this year, the City of Edmonton updated their Animal Care and Control Bylaw, which establishes a system of rules and definitions with respect to animals within the City. RULE #1: LICENSE YOUR PET
It's mandatory, it's their ID, and it's their fastest way home.
BARKS, BITES AND BIG PENALTIES
Stricter penalties for dog attacks, with penalties ranging from $250 to $3,000, and new rules for vicious dogs.
PAWSITIVE ACCESSIBILITY
Discounted license fees for seniors and people on income support, waived licensing fees for non-profit local animal rescues and small changes to license fees.
PAW-LEASE PUT MY SAFETY FIRST
Your pet's safety is your responsibility. Avoid animal welfare fines for:
- Unsafe transportation of an animal.
- Leaving an animal unattended (hot vehicles, cold weather) or in a yard without access to shelter.
BEE A GOOD NEIGHBOUR
New rules, regulations, and limits on backyard hens, beehives and rabbits.
