Your pet registration renewal is due on 10 April each year, as required under the Domestic Animals Act 1994. We generally send renewal notices between 28 February and 10 March.
If you've signed up to receive eNotices, you'll receive your renewal notice by email.
If you're not an existing eNotices user, we'll send your renewal by post. It will have information on how to register for eNotices.
