Every cat and dog in Mississauga needs a licence as per the Animal Care and Control By-law 0098-04. A pet licence is your pet’s identification. It has vital information that can help Mississauga Animal Services reunite them with you, if they are ever lost and provides information to emergency services to assist in pet rescues or emergency evacuations.  The purchase of your pet licence also helps fund the care for the animals at the shelter.
