Dogs in the Central Okanagan must be licensed by Feb. 28

Time ticking to license Fido

Central Okanagan dog owners have just four weeks to save on 2023 dog licenses.

Until the end of February a license is $20 if they are spayed or neutered and $60 if they are not. On March 1, the rate jumps to $40 and $80 respectively.

Aggressive and dangerous dogs have specific license fees.

All dogs three months or older within the Central Okanagan are required to have a valid license. According to the bylaw, a maximum of three dogs are allowed within a single family dwelling.

"Having a valid license tag on the pet's collar or harness helps dog control officers to quickly reunite a found dog with its owner," an RDCO news release stated.

"And, a license provides a one-time free trip home for any accidental escape.

"License fees also contribute to the care of lost dogs in addition to public safety and awareness initiatives that support responsible dog ownership."

The RDCO reminds dog owners there is a zero tolerance, and a hefty fine can be levied for unlicensed dogs.
