If you own a dog in the Municipality of Trent Lakes, you are required to purchase a life time dog tag for each dog. You can buy a dog tag by completing the Dog Tag Application or by visiting:
- The municipal office.
- Any of our waste transfer stations.
You need to renew each dog tag annually at the Municipal Office. The dog tag will only remain valid as long as the annual renewal fee is paid. We will send you a reminder to renew your tag each year.
Review the Lifetime Dog Tags by-law.

Please Remember...
Keep Your Information up to Date
We'll make every attempt to locate an owner and return a lost dog to its home. To help us with this process, please ensure that all identification tags are kept up to date. Remember, a dog must be licensed and you will be considered liable.
Poop and Scoop
You must pick up after your dog when they go to the washroom on municipal or private property. You must not leave without picking up the waste.
