Animal Bylaw Review

The Regina Animal Bylaw review. Share your feedback to help keep Regina safe and healthy for people, pets and property.

Following a motion presented at City Council on January 29, 2025, City Administration has begun a review of the Regina Animal Bylaw to ensure it aligns with best practices and addresses residents’ expectations for animal licensing and control.

The Bylaw addresses a wide range of topics. The review is being conducted in phases to ensure each area receives thoughtful attention and is in collaboration with a broad group of interested and impacted parties, including the public, pet owners, veterinarians, the Regina Humane Society, Saskatchewan Health Authority, Regina Police Service and Canada Post.

The first phase of the review focused specifically on regulations related to aggressive dogs. This included an online survey. Administration also hosted a pop-up event to gather responses for it at the I Love Regina Day festivities on August 23. The online survey was hosted on Be Heard, the City's digital engagement platform, from August 23 to October 3, 2025. It included 12 questions and 12,968 submissions were received. You can read the findings from those surveys here.

Future phases will explore additional topics identified as priorities by Administration, community and partner organizations.
