Dog tags now required across Tantramar

As of May 13, 2025, all dog owners in the Municipality of Tantramar must license their dogs. This new by-law helps ensure responsible pet ownership and supports a quicker, safer return for lost animals.

Here’s what residents need to know:

• Dog tags are available at Municipal Office in Sackville..
• Proof of current rabies vaccination is required at the time of registration.
• Tags must be renewed annually.
• Licensing your dog is a small step that makes a big difference in keeping pets safe and our communities informed.

If you’ve lost your pet, found a stray animal, or need to report a nuisance or safety concern involving an animal, please contact our Animal Control Officer.
