Dog Licence Application


Use MyDogs to apply for:

  • one or more new Dog Licences (create a new account, or add a new dog to an existing account)
  • a replacement dog tag
  • a spay/neuter reduction fee to an existing Dog Licence account
  • the removal/cancellation of one or more dogs from your account

**If you are paying for a Dog Licence Renewal, please do so through your MyCity profile, or visit MyPayments.


**If your dog has been deemed aggressive through the formal City of Red Deer designation process, please stop using the online application and contact licensing@reddeer.ca or 403-342-8182 to renew or obtain a dog licence.




To apply through MyDogs, you must:

  • live within City of Red Deer limits
  • have a MyCity profile


Why do I need to register my dog?

  • A valid licence (tag) on your dog’s collar is the fastest way to contact you if your dog is lost
  • A responsible pet owner not only looks after their pet’s health and wellness, but makes sure their pet is a positive addition to the community
  • It is a requirement of the City’s Dog Bylaw 3429/2009.
  • Funds the Spay/Neuter Program
  • Allows for more accurate statistical information to help with funding
  • Provides resources to adopt unclaimed dogs



Important Information:

  • Licences are valid from January 1st to December 31st of each year and are a flat fee at any point of the year when you obtain your dog tag
  • There is a maximum of three dogs per dwelling unit
  • Alterations to the account, including contact information or address changes, must be made in writing by emailing licensing@reddeer.ca or completing the Change of Address form.
  • Review Responsible Pet Ownership
