Animals in the city bring communities to life and pets are important members of many Edmonton families.
The Animal Licensing and Control Bylaw establishes a system of rules and definitions with respect to animals within the City. It helps clarify what animals can and cannot be kept as pets and what regulations pet owners must follow in caring for them.
It also regulates animals that can be kept for urban farming purposes and outlines fees, fines for infractions and how to manage stray populations.
