Animal registration reminders

Animal registrations are due by 10 April every year. Payment must be made prior to this date.

If you have received an SMS reminder, this is because your animal registration renewal payment has not been received by the due date. Please note that until payment is received, your animal remains unregistered.  

To pay online via the Pay now portal (under Key tasks) enter each animal’s Customer Reference number. 

If your circumstances have changed, visit our Update your pet's details page.
