    Exciting News for Collingwood Dog Owners: Town launches new licensing platform to serve you better!

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [10 December 2024] – The Town of Collingwood is excited to announce the launch of DocuPet, an innovative, user-friendly platform now available to all dog owners in our community. This service makes it easier than ever to licence your dog, create a personalized pet profile, and access valuable services that support your dog’s well-being in one convenient location.

    “By transitioning to DocuPet, the Town of Collingwood is not only making the dog licensing process more efficient and convenient for our residents, but also enhancing the safety and well-being of pets in our community with DocuPets HomeSafe 24/7 lost pet service, says Adam Harrod, Acting Manager, By-law Services.” We’re excited to offer this service and look forward to the positive impact it will have on Collingwood dog owners and their pets.”

    Why is the Town of Collingwood Moving to DocuPet?

    The Town of Collingwood has collaborated with DocuPet to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the dog licensing process. Our goals include:

    • Increasing Dog Licensing Compliance: DocuPet makes the licensing process more accessible and raises awareness of licensing requirements, encouraging greater compliance among dog owners.
    • Enhancing the Licensing Experience: The online platform provides a user-friendly, convenient way to navigate the licensing process.
    • Ensuring Community Safety: Licensing dogs helps ensure that pets are identified and tracked in case they go missing. DocuPet’s HomeSafe 24/7 Lost Pet Service is a major feature that helps reunite lost pets with their owners quickly, improving both pet and community safety.
    • Community Engagement: DocuPet enables the Town to engage with residents more effectively through digital communication channels, making it easier to inform dog owners about updates, laws, and events.
    • Increased Administrative Efficiencies: The platform automates many tasks, such as reminders, renewals, and data management, saving time and resources. 

    Benefits of Using DocuPet

    • Simplified Licensing: The online platform offers a quick, convenient, and user-friendly licensing experience.
    •  Community Safety: Licensing helps ensure the safety of dogs and the broader community.
    • Unique Features: One of the key features is the HomeSafe 24/7 Lost Pet Service, which is included with each dog licence. When you register your dog, you will receive a unique tag linked to your pet’s online profile. In the unfortunate event that your dog goes missing, the finder can quickly create a Found Pet Report, and you can file a Lost Pet Report immediately. DocuPet’s dedicated team is available around the clock to assist with reuniting lost pets with their families.
    • Donations: Make an optional donation to the Safe&Happy Fund and help support the Georgian Triangle Humane Society. 
    • 365-Day Licensing: We’re pleased to announce a significant change to our animal licensing! From now on, every licence tag purchased will expire 365 calendar days from the date of purchase, rather than December 31. This change provides greater flexibility and convenience for pet owners, making it easier to keep your furry friends licensed and safe throughout the year.   

    Important Reminder: All dogs over the age of six months are required to be licensed in the Town of Collingwood. For more information on responsible pet ownership, please visit the Town of Collingwood’s Canine Control webpage.

    Get Started Today: Dog licences can be purchased conveniently online at collingwood.docupet.com or in person at Town Hall, 97 Hurontario Street, Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
