C-K residents have until the end of the month to get their 2024 tags for their dogs, like the tag shown here from 2020.

Dog owners in Chatham-Kent have until March 31 to purchase their 2024 municipal dog tag and avoid a late fee and possible fine.

The fee for a spayed or neutered dog is $29, or $39.50 if your pet hasn’t been spayed or neutered.

A $10 late fee applies after March 31.

Owners of dogs without tags could face a $240 fine.

If a dog is lost, the information on the tags is used to help reunite the pet with its owner.

Funds raised from dog tags helps to offset the cost of shelter operation, animal control and adoption services for pets.

Dog tags can be purchased online through PAWR’s website, over the phone by calling 311, in person at any municipal office or the PAWR shelter on Park Avenue East in Chatham, or by mail. For the latter, just complete a  dog tag licence application form and send by mail to PO Box 640, Chatham, Ontario N7M 5K8 together with a cheque payable to Municipality of Chatham-Kent. A dog tag and receipt will be mailed to you.
