Some dogs may be exempt from microchipping due to old age or ill health that would prove detrimental to the dog. Proof of microchip exemption must be provided by a veterinarian.
Providing a delegate owner/alternative contact person when registering your dog is essential. This can provide City Officers with an alternative contact if your dog has been found and you are not contactable.
