Register your pet
… You will need to microchip your pet and register them with us. Registering your pet lets you reunite with them if they ever get lost. Tags Apply Pets registrations … pet registration … dog registration … cat registration … Keeping …

Congratulations on your new best friend. Now that you have got your pet, you will need to register your microchipped pet with us.

Registering your pet lets you reunite with them quickly if they ever get lost.

 

When do you need to register?

When your pet reaches three months (12 weeks) of age you need to:

  1. microchip your pet with a vet and 
  2. register them with us. 

You can only register your pet after they have been microchipped. 

 

Why does your pet need to be microchipped?

A microchip is a small computer chip about the size of a grain of rice - implanted just under your pet's skin between the shoulder blades at the back of the neck. It is a common, safe and painless procedure that takes a few seconds. Each microchip has a unique number that can be detected with a microchip scanner. 

A microchipped pet allows us to easily identify your pet to safely return to you if they become lost or stray. Always keep your contact details up to date. 

If you need an exemption from microchipping, you have to provide proof from a vet documenting why your pet's health would be harmed by the procedure.

Microchipping your pet identifies and protects them.

Your pet must have a microchip prior to registration.

How microchips help your pets

Microchipping your pet is important because if they’re lost, we or animal shelters can identify them.

If you’d like to learn more about the benefits, visit microchipping information for dog and cat owners.

How microchips work

A microchip is a tiny computer chip the size of a grain of rice. Each chip has a unique number and when scanned, will identify your pet. The number will be on the microchip registry and other details such as your:

  • address
  • contact details.

Do microchips hurt

The procedure takes a few seconds and is painless. A vet can microchip your pet.

The microchip implant will be just under your pet’s skin. Usually between the shoulder blades at the back of the neck.

Exemptions from microchipping

If you need an exemption, you’ll need to show proof from a vet of why the procedure will cause your pet harm.

Update your pet’s microchip details when moving house

If you’ve moved to a new place, update your pet’s microchip details with the domestic animal (microchip) registries.

While not mandatory, desexing sterilises a dog or cat so they can't have puppies or kittens. Desexing can also reduce roaming behaviour or territorial aggression. It’s important to remember kittens as young as 4 months of age are able to breed.

You’ll also receive reductions on registration fees after desexing your pet.

Only a qualified vet can carry out the desexing operation.

For more information on desexing, visit the Victorian Government's website for desexing cats and dogs.

Media Release: Pets and Fireworks
… Release: Pets and Fireworks Manningham Council is urging pet owners to ensure that their animals are safe and secure …
Article Content

Manningham Council is urging pet owners to ensure that their animals are safe and secure during the festive season.

Celebrations and fireworks displays can disturb some domestic pets and Council is asking owners to secure their pets.

Dogs, especially, have extremely sensitive hearing and the noise from fireworks and thunderstorms can cause them to panic and become distressed.

Many dogs do abnormal things when stressed, like jumping over, chewing through or digging under fences. This can create a very unsafe situation for everyone, causing traffic hazards and sometimes fear aggression in dogs.

Fireworks are planned for the evenings of Manningham Carols (around 10.00 pm Friday 16 December, 2016), on New Year’s Eve and during Australia Day celebrations (January 26, 2017). Throughout summer there can also be severe thunderstorms.

If owners are concerned that fireworks and thunderstorms may affect their dog, they are urged to have someone stay with their animal or alternatively secure their animal(s) in the house or garage and ensure their dog is wearing a collar and tag, with relevant contact details attached.

Generally, Council has been able to recover and re-house the majority of pets without impounding the animals, highlighting the advantages of ensuring your pet is registered.

Dogs distressed by fireworks or thunderstorms that escape their premises can travel large distances.

If your pet escapes, check with neighbours, check Council’s lost animals page at www.manningham.vic.gov.au/lost-animals or call the Manningham Pound on 9840 9333. Other places to check are local vet practices, neighbouring Council Pounds and animal shelters.

Dog Owners Urged to Take Care
… to suffer severe heat exhaustion in a car and die, so pet owners are urged to be aware of the dangers of leaving …
Article Content

It takes just six minutes or less for an animal to suffer severe heat exhaustion in a car and die, so pet owners are urged to be aware of the dangers of leaving animals in cars in the coming hotter months.

Manningham Mayor Cr Jim Grivokostopoulos said temperatures inside a car can reach over 40C on a 23C day and in that sort of heat an animal can die in less than six minutes.

“Melbourne’s Metropolitan Ambulance Service undertook tests on a 29 degree day that showed how quickly temperatures inside a car can rise.”

“Even with the car’s air conditioning having initially cooled the interior to a comfortable 20 degrees, showed it took just 10 minutes for the temperature to more than double to 44 degrees.”

“In a further 10 minutes it had tripled to a deadly 60.2 degrees. In animals, as with humans, exposure to these types of temperatures can be extremely dangerous.”

Cr Grivokostopoulos said Council is urging owners to reconsider whether they should take a pet out in the heat as it is often kinder and more responsible to leave the dog at home with water and shade.

“Dogs are particularly at risk as they cool themselves by panting. If the air around a dog is too hot, particularly if they don’t have access to water, they are physically unable to regulate their body temperature.”

“Even if the car is parked in the shade or windows are left down, the temperature inside a car on a hot day can reach hazardous levels.”

“In the time it takes to pick up a few things for dinner at the supermarket and get through the supermarket check out, a dog left in a hot car could have already died an agonising death,” he said.

If you find a pet left in a hot car, please call Victoria Police on 000. Police are equipped to dispatch officers quickly from the nearest police station, which is critical under these circumstances.

New animal management plan adopted

We have adopted a new plan for the management of domestic animals in Manningham. ...

Article Content

We have adopted a new plan for the management of domestic animals in Manningham.

The plan incorporates feedback from the community concerning the protection of cat and dog welfare. It also seeks to improve the amenity and safety of our community.

Key priorities of the plan that address issues and suggestions identified by the community included in the plan include:

  • Dogs off lead/not under owner control.
  • Dog waste.
  • Dogs barking.
  • Wandering cats.

The plan will include a trial of a cat confinement program. Cat owners will be required to keep their cat/s within their property boundaries 24 hours each day.

The trial cat confinement program will provide benefits to cats, cat owners and the community.

Benefits include:

  • Protecting cats from the risk of injury from other animals, people and vehicles.
  • Reducing disputes between neighbours caused by wandering cats.
  • Protecting our wildlife from attacks and damage by cats. Manningham’s unique natural environment provides a sanctuary to 56 threatened animal species.

Manningham Mayor, Cr Michelle Kleinert said that pets are a valued part of life for many people in the community.

"There are over 13,000 registered pet dogs and cats in Manningham. This plan focuses on responsible pet ownership and will help to keep pets in our community happier and healthier.”

All Councils across Victoria need to develop a Domestic Animal Management Plan every four years. This is a requirement under the Domestic Animals Act 1994.

Media Release: Growing deer problem gets attention

Wild deer are a growing problem in suburban areas such as Templestowe, East Doncaster and Bulleen and other parts of the Yarra River Catchment.   ...

Article Content

Wild deer are a growing problem in suburban areas such as Templestowe, East Doncaster and Bulleen and other parts of the Yarra River Catchment.

Deer cause significant damage to native vegetation, farmland and gardens, carry disease and have the potential to harm people.

A forum organised by Manningham Council has bought attention to the issue and sought a collaborative approach to its solution.

“Managing the impact of wild deer populations on residents is a problem across all of government. We need to find appropriate solutions,” says Manningham Council Director of Environment and Planning, Teresa Dominic.

“Safety around Manningham is a big concern. Fully grown Sambar deer are as big as a cow and all males have antlers. Deer have been spotted in residential areas and caused car accidents. With growing deer populations, getting on top of this issue now is important.”

The forum discussed the environmental and safety impacts of wild deer populations, as well as management issues, including the roles and responsibilities of various agencies.

The State Government has commenced planning for a Deer Management Strategy for Victoria, to be completed in June 2018. The findings of the parliamentary enquiry into deer hunting on Crown Land are to be released in June 2017.

Attendees at the Yarra Catchment Deer Forum agreed to meet again to develop a plan of action towards a proactive Integrated Deer Management Program in the Yarra Catchment.

 

Event details: Yarra Catchment Deer Forum, March 23rd 2017

Attendees included: DEWLP, Parks Vic, Port Phillip Catchment Management Authority, Victorian National Parks Association, Melbourne Water, Landcare, Yarra Ranges Council, Nillumbik Council, Maroondah Council, Knox Council, researchers, Game Management Authority and Vic Police.

Manningham has a number of dog-friendly open spaces and invites the community to nominate their favourite. 

As part of its Top 5 Manningham series, launched earlier in the year, Council will be opening a poll for residents and their pooches to vote for their favourite dog park. 

Manningham Mayor Cr Andrew Conlon said Manningham had a lot of fantastic on and off-leash dog parks for residents and their four-legged friends that encourage everyone to get out and about.    

“One of the key themes in Council’s four-year plan is fostering healthy communities,” he said. 

“Dog parks provide a safe place for pets and their owners to gather for both exercising and socialising.” 

The poll is available on Council’s website and is open to everyone until 5.00pm, Monday 5 March, with results revealed shortly after.    

Earlier in the year, the community nominated Ruffey Lake Park in Victoria Street Doncaster East as the top playspace.

Its plentiful play equipment, picturesque scenery and safe walking tracks were some of the many reasons it was voted in at the top spot.    

Wombat Bend in Lower Templestowe, Currawong Bush Park in Doncaster East, Federation Playground at Warrandyte River Reserve and Manna Gum Playground in Doncaster East rounded up the top five play spaces in Manningham. 

Photograph and interview opportunities are available.
