Changing address

If you move but remain within the same district, you need to notify us of the change. If you are moving to another district then you must notify both local authorities. Registration tags are easily swapped between different districts by either providing the physical tag or proof of registration such as a receipt of purchase.  

Replacement dog tags

If you have lost or damaged your dog’s tag we can provide a new one at no extra cost. Replacement tags can be ordered over the phone or in person.

Refunds

If your dog dies you can make a written request for a refund. We refund whatever remaining portion of the yearly rate remains after notification.
