Minister for Local Government Gabrielle Upton praised pet owners for taking a responsible approach by ensuring their details are correctly recorded.
“The chances of lost pets being reunited with their owners are now much better if their owners have taken the opportunity to ensure their pets are registered,” she said.
The NSW Pet Registry can help ensure that people are promptly notified if a lost animal is found.
Pet owners and breeders can update their contact details, transfer pet ownership and pay their lifetime registration online.
More than 49,000 owners have created an online account to record their ownership of animals since July 2016.
