Pet Ownership & Pet Licensing

If you are a pet owner or planning on becoming a pet owner, it is important for you to know the rules for owning a pet. For further details, you can refer to the Responsible Pet Ownership Brochure, the Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw or Dangerous Animal Bylaw.

A pet license can be purchased at one of the following locations:

When purchasing a new pet license, you must provide the following information and pay the license fee:

• Breed, name, gender and age
• Confirmation of your pet's vaccinations and whether your pet is spayed or neutered
• Your name, address and phone number
• Fee:  $25 for a neutered/spayed dog or cat, $75 for a non-spayed/non-neutered dog or cat, or $25 for a dog or cat under 6 months

Pet licenses must be renewed yearly.

If your pet has a licensed tag and is lost, you can contact the Prince Albert SPCA at 306-763-6110 to report your pet missing and check to see if your pet was brought in. You can also check the Prince Albert SPCA Lost & Found.

Skunks - Skunk Removal Program

The City's Parks, Recreation and Culture Department provides skunk trapping and removal services for residential properties through the Skunk Removal Program. This service is offered in April, and again from August 1st to October 31st of each year, Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 4:45 p.m.  This service is not offered during denning season (May to the end of July) ensuring that mothers are not inhumanely separated from their young.  

Pest Management will be offered to residents that find a Skunk Den site located on their personal property.  Once Parks, Recreation and Culture is notified, and the request is approved, they would contact a City hired Contractor to set a trap at the residential location.  We do not approve the set up of traps on public property; and any requests for trapping on  neighbouring properties must come from the property owner.   If there is not a den site found on the property, the City will not provide skunk trapping services.  

Once approval is received from Parks, Recreation and Culture, the homeowner will be entitled to the Program which includes the initial set-up of a skunk trap, removal of said trap, and skunk disposal.  Anything over and above the one call-out charge will be at the cost to the homeowner.  

Repeat trapping requests from addresses will require a new separate work order approved by Parks, Recreation and Culture through the Program for each additional call out. 

The City does not cover skunk removal or trapping done with private traps, and will not cover any trapping costs that weren’t pre-approved by the Program. 

Property owners may use a Pest Management company for trapping services outside of the Program availability or for means not covered by the Program; however, all associated costs will be at the property owners expense.

If you would like more information on the Program, or to apply for trapping services, you can contact Parks, Recreation and Culture at 306-953-4800.
