Animal Care & Control
Discover the Town of Cochrane’s care and control services for residential pets. The details found below describe ways and reasons to purchase our licensed dog tags, how to adopt a new pet, and what local businesses offer pet care services.
Licensed Dog Tags
Every dog in the rural and urban areas of Cochrane must be licensed and must wear a dog tag. These dog tags can be purchased at Town Hall, at the following price levels:
Type | Fee |
|---|---|
Lifetime dog tag | $48.50 per dog |
Spayed or neutered dog | $28.00 per dog |
Replacement dog tag | $17.00 |
Missing Tag Penalty
Animals found without a dog tag will be impounded by the animal control officer, for three days not including stat holidays and the day of capture. To claim the animal, contact the Animal Control Officer. The cost to redeem the animal is $50.00 and if it is not licensed, a dog tag must be purchased.
All fees for impoundment and veterinary costs must be paid by the person claiming the animal before it can be released.
