Animal Licences

Every cat/dog owned by a resident of Fort Saskatchewan must be licensed according to the Animal Control Bylaw.

A pet license:

  • Will help to reunite missing pets with their owner.
  • Will help the City determine what amenities are needed for pet owner's public enjoyment such as off leash dog parks and kennel services.

Licensing periods run from January – December of each calendar year.

The only other domestic animals allowed within the City of Fort Saskatchewan are rabbits and pigeons (four maximum) and they must be confined, and meet the standards of care within the bylaw.
