Animal Registration

Registration is valid from January 1^st to December 31^st of each year. You must renew this registration every year upon receiving a notice by mail from your SPA. A new ID Tag will not be included with this notice; you will use the same one year after year. However, if your animal has lost his tag or if the number written on it has been erased, contact the Eastern Townships SPA at 819 821-4727, option 4. A new tag will be mailed to you.

1. By Phone : Contact the Eastern Townships SPA licensing department at 819 821-4727, option 4.
2. In Person: Visit the Eastern Townships SPA Shelter during opening hours in order to register your pet
3. Online : Click here to fill out the registration form. If you have more than one pet, you must complete a registration form for each one.

Once your registration is processed, you will receive by mail the identification tag for your pet as well as the invoice which is proof of registration.

Beyond being mandatory, registering your pet and having him wear his tag ensures his safety. So, if he runs away, gets lost or gets injured, his ID Tag clearly indicates that he has a family.

As of March 3, 2020, the Quebec government requires all citizens who have a dog to register their animal under the Act to promote the protection of persons by establishing a framework with regard to dogs.Although your dog is already registered with your local SPAE, the regulation requires us to update your dog’s file every year.
