As the City of Medicine Hat has temporarily assumed operations of the Animal Pound Services facility, we anticipate online payments will be available by year end. Thank you for your patience, and please view the "Apply in person" option below.
Pet Licences
Licensing your pet helps ensure they will be returned to you if they ever wander off. Our Responsible Animal Ownership bylaw requires all dogs to be licensed annually.
New applications
How to apply
