The Municipality of Grey Highlands By-law enforcement division provides animal control services to all residents. These services can be found in the animal control by by-law as well as below.

Welcome to Grey Highlands Package

Our team has created a comprehensive Welcome Package with all you need to know if new to Grey Highlands!   

Dog Tags

The Municipality of Grey Highlands promotes and encourages responsible pet ownership; encourages voluntary compliance with animal-related laws; and promotes dog licensing and microchipping.

By licensing your dog, animal control makes every effort to reunite owners with their dog if it becomes accidentally lost. It is important that you keep your contact information up to date.

Residents can purchase or renew dog licenses online and at the Municipal Office. By law, all dog owners must purchase a license for their pet annually, unless a lifetime tag was purchased.

Note: In accordance with Section 3.2(a) of the Canine Control By-law 2021-071, no person shall keep or harbour more than three (3) dogs at any one time in a dwelling unit or on any individual conveyable land entity located within the boundaries of the Municipality.
