My puppy is under 12 months old. Will I get the puppy fee?

Usually, yes.

  • If you register your puppy for the first time when it is 9 months old or younger, you'll pay the puppy registration fee.
  • The Dog Control Act says that dogs must be registered from 3 months of age. If you wait until your dog is older than 9 months to register it for the first time, the puppy registration fee will still apply but a late registration penalty fee will also apply.
  • If your dog is already registered and is still under 12 months old when the next registration year starts, you'll still be eligible for the puppy registration fee for that year.
