REGISTERING your animal and receiving his IDENTIFICATION TAG

Registration is valid from January 1st to December 31st 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.

How to register my animal?

  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.

When will I receive the ID Tag?

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.
