Step 1: You

What you need to know

A part of the registration cost this includes a registration tag. This tag must be worn when your dog is out in the public. Each registration year the tag colour and number changes to reflect how current the tag is. Each tag has a different number to identify the dog.

If a tag is lost or damaged, you may order a replacement.

There are two tag options:

Disc – A circle shape with a key ring.

Strap – A rectangle shape that clips together. (Cannot be unclipped once attached to collar)
