Kennel and Doggie Day Care operators must obtain a licence to operate from the Township and renew the licence annually no later than April 30th. This ensures that all facilities are well maintained through inspections, and all information is up to date. Dogs older than 3 months living at a kennel must also be licenced with the Township. Doggie daycares are required to ensure that all dogs on site are licenced where they reside, and dog licence records are easily accessible.
For more information please review by-law 2012-175 .
