obtain a dog tag for their pet. Annual or lifetime tags can be
purchased online or at any Municipal Service Centre, library or
the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes.
• Pets are not permitted to run at large. Dogs must be on
a leash at all times in public spaces with the exception of
designated off-leash dog parks.

dog waste bags may be placed into your clear garbage bag.
Pet waste should not exceed 10% of your total weekly
curbside waste.
