Animal Bylaw Review

The City of Regina is reviewing the Regina Animal Bylaw to ensure it aligns with best practices and addresses residents’ expectations for animal licensing and control.

The Animal Bylaw addresses a wide range of topics. The review is being conducted in phases to ensure each area receives thoughtful attention. Phase 1 focuses specifically on regulations related to aggressive dogs. Future phases will explore additional topics identified as priorities by administration, community and partner organizations.

Survey questions were developed based on input received through early engagement, feedback from Council discussions and reviews of practices in other municipalities. These questions are intended to guide discussion and gather insight. They do not represent final recommendations.

The City is conducting this review in collaboration with a broad group of stakeholders, including the general public, pet owners, veterinarians, the Regina Humane Society, Saskatchewan Health Authority, Regina Police Service and Canada Post.

Recommendations will be informed by best practices and community feedback, with the goal of enhancing animal control and safety across the city.
