If you have a dog that is over three months old and has lived in the Central Okanagan for more than 30 days, your dog needs I.D., too! Save $20 by renewing or purchasing your dog’s 2025 licence before February 28.
Until February 28, a licence for a dog that is spayed or neutered is $20. If the dog isn’t spayed or neutered the fee is $60. On March 1, licence fees return to the regular annual rates of $40 and $80.
New licences for furry family members require proof of spay and neuter and can be uploaded online or brought in-person to the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) Administrative Office.
Renewing or purchasing a new dog licence is as easy as a walk in the park. Visit rdco.com/dogs to purchase your licence online. Residents who would rather buy or renew their dog licence in person may visit the RDCO (1450 KLO Road), the Regional Dog Pound (890 Weddell Place), municipal offices in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country and Peachland, or the Kelowna SPCA (3785 Casorso Road).
The Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw requires all pups three months and older to be licensed. A dog licence is your ticket to ensuring a safe return home if your beloved pup ever decides to go on an unscheduled adventure. Plus, it comes with a one-time free ride home. Licensed dog owners get the VIP treatment with special discounts and services offered by local businesses participating in the Dog Licence Reward Program.
Dog owners who have moved to the Central Okanagan and have a current, valid dog licence from another local government may transfer their licence for free by visiting the RDCO office in Kelowna.
In 2024, Charlie, Bell and Luna were the most popular dog names registered in the Central Okanagan.
