Dogs and Cats

This page provides all your answers to becoming a responsible pet owner to your four legged friends.

Dogs and Cats Online

Since 1 July 2018, all pet registrations in South Australia are handled by the Dogs and Cats Online (DACO) central authority, the Dog and Cat Management Board of South Australia. Follow this link to renew or create a new registration for your pet.

Lost and Found Dogs

Has your four-legged friend gone missing, or is there an animal roaming your neighbourhood? City of Playford partners with the Animal Welfare League to ensure that lost pets are kept safe until they can be reunited with their owners.

Birds and Poultry

Are you a bird-fancier? Keeping birds such as poultry or pigeons can have health, social and recreational impacts. For these reasons and more, there are guidelines around keeping these animals in the City of Playford, and for managing the impact of bird life on our surroundings.

Nuisance Animals and Pests

Not all animals make our lives better - to outsiders, some can be downright annoying. What can you do about your neighbour's roaming cats or a vermin infestation?

    The City of Playford acknowledges that we are situated on the traditional land of the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country. The City of Playford would also like to pay respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

    The City of Playford also acknowledges the people, our forebears, that have contributed to building and defending our great nation and way of life.
