Dog License Renewal



If you’re the kind of person who finds themselves spending lots of time in off leash areas or packing a furry, four legged friend around Strathcona County it’s that time of year to renew their license.  Pet licensing in the area is mandatory and the license year runs from April 1 – March 31.
  • Cats do not require licensing in Strathcona County
  • New dogs must be licensed within 15 days of acquiring
  • If you no longer have a dog that was previously licensed it is important that you notify the county this
  • The first license for a spayed or neutered dog or a dog less than 6 months of age is free
  • If you have more than 2 dogs and are acquiring a 3rd, you will need to apply for an “over limit” permit as well
For more information and where you can purchase your dog’s license, please visit the Strathcona County Website:

Please keep in mind that Edmonton bylaws are very different.  If you are a YEG resident, you need the following information:

  • Licenses expire 1 year from date of issue
  • Puppies and kittens less than 6 months do not require a license
  • You must be 18 or older to license a pet
  • Maximum number of pets allowed are 6 cats and 3 dogs
  • Licenses are not transferable
