You need to register your puppy before it's 3 months old. The following information is also relevant if you've adopted an older dog, or if you've recently moved your dog to Palmerston North.
We're currently working on a simpler way to register new dogs online. In the meantime, we recommend you come and visit us at our Customer Service Centre on the Square and register in person. You can also call us. Phone: 06 356 8199
The annual registration period is 1 July to 30 June. So when you register a new dog with us, you'll only need to pay a part-fee to cover whatever remains of the current registration year.
If your dog is registered in another district and you're transferring it here, you won't need to pay anything until renewals are due.
