Pets and animals

Numbers of animals you can keep

You can have 2 cats and 2 dogs in Banyule. Any more and you'll need an excess animal permit.

Registering cats and dogs

All dogs and cats over 3 months old must be registered. Renew, transfer or update your details.

Pet problems and owner responsibility

Barking dogs, fighting cats, anti-social pet behaviour in public: we can help with pet problems.

Lost and found animals

Find out what to do if your pet goes missing. How to report a roaming animal that wanders onto your property.

Help with barking dogs

Barking dogs can ruin your day. Find out how you can deal with a barking dog in your neighbourhood.

Walking the dog

You need to have your dog under control whenever you leave home. Find a dog-friendly park (we have 4).

Buying, selling or giving away pets

Anyone who wants to sell or give away a dog or cat will need to be on the Pet Exchange Register and have a source number.

The register was introduced 1 July 2019 to help regulate and monitor anyone acting unlawfully when selling dogs and cats.

Buying or adopting a pet

Before you bring a new pet home, look up the source number to check the validity of the breeder or individual.

Is a source number needed no matter what?

Yes. There are only a few occasions when a source number isn't need: visit the Victorian Government site Agriculture: Pet Exchange Register.
