Why License

With DocuPet, your pet's licence is much more than just a tag. It's their ticket home, their customized (and cute!) emblem, and a link to their personal digital record. It's also your way of doing good - not just for your pet, but for the pets in need in your community.

Dog and cat licences are mandatory in the City of Welland. In fact, licences are mandatory in nearly every community across North America. Why? Because licences help keep pets and the communities they live in safe.

Since licensing your dogs and cats is a requirement, our goal is to make this process quick, simple, and valuable. Check out the ways you can license your pet below and feel good knowing that licensing revenue funds important initiatives helping to improve your community. To further support these efforts, DocuPet will always donate 20% of designer tag and product sales to our local Safe&Happy Fund partner in the City of Welland, Niagara SPCA and Humane Society.
