In order to reduce this number, and to promote responsible pet ownership, new cat and dog laws are being introduced throughout all of WA.

The cat new laws require any cat older than 6 months of age to be microchipped, sterilised, registered with the local council, and wearing a collar and registration tag.

The new dog laws require any dog over 3 months of age to be microchipped, registered with the local council, and wearing a collar and registration tag.  Older dogs not yet microchipped have until the 1st of November 2015 to comply.
