Cat and Dog Registration

If you live in the Frankston municipality and own Cats and or dogs who are over the age of three months, they must be registered regardless of:
- Breed (except restricted breed dogs)
- State of health
- Whether the animal is kept indoors or outside
Failure to register your pet may incur a fine of $500
First Time Registration
As of 1 September 2008, all newly registered Cats and dogs must be permanently identified e.g. microchipped and desexed from the age of three months.
Further details of registration requirements, including exemptions and fee structure, are included on the back of the First Time Registration Form Dog and Cat
The Registration Fee can then be paid using one of the following options:
