The Township of Woolwich has partnered with DocuPet to provide an enhanced pet licensing experience for residents.
All dog owners in Woolwich are required to buy dog tags for each of their dogs annually or within 21 days of moving into the Township. Licences now expire 365 days after the date of purchase.
Licences previously expired on December 31, but through our new licensing partnership with DocuPet, all licences now valid for a full 365 days after purchase. When you register your pet with the Township of Woolwich, you will receive a unique licence tag to attach to their collar. Our new licensing process with DocuPet allows residents to select a standard licence tag at no additional charge or upgrade to one of DocuPet’s colourful designer tag styles for an additional fee.
Each DocuPet tag, standard or designer, doubles as a pet’s official Township of Woolwich licence and comes equipped with the HomeSafe™24/7 lost pet service, which relies on a dedicated full time dispatch staff and linked pet profiles to help get lost pets home quickly.
Pet owners can now easily license their pets online by visiting woolwich.docupet.com.
To license by mail, simply complete the Woolwich Dog License Form along with your cheque payable to:
DocuPet

Kingston ON K7L2L1
