Bayside Council understands that owning a dog or a cat is a rewarding and enjoyable experience for pet owners ensure who ensure their animal is healthy, well nourished, groomed, vaccinated, properly exercised and socialised.
In NSW cats and dogs must be microchipped and registered on the NSW Government's Pet Registry website.
If your pet is registered and your details are up to date, it can be safely returned if it gets lost.
You can get your dog or cat microchipped at your local vet.
Pet owners are also responsible for their animal's actions and must consider the impact their dog or cat may have on others in the community.
Pet owners or anyone considering a pet in the future can find more information on Council's website including a list of off-leash dog areas.
