The DocuPet Story

Dog licences are really important. When lost pets end up in shelters, those with licence tags are much more likely to be returned home. Also, licence fees help support critical community initiatives. When we learned that across Canada a mere 13% of dog owners license their animals, we found our mission.

We've partnered with the Town of Cobourg to make every dog licence as valuable to you as it is to animal safety.

Tags That Help All Pets

Our tags help lost pets get home safely. They also help fund local initiatives that find safe and happy homes for Cobourg's most vulnerable animals.

Now in the Town of Cobourg, you can choose from our selection of fun tag designs. We can also etch your pet's name and your phone number on each.

Any tag choose will be your official licence tag. Cool, huh?

The Town of Cobourg

Our mission is to help provide a safe and happy home for every pet. Our commitment to this mission extends beyond improvements to pet licence tags and registration programs. We also directly support local animal welfare charities by donating 20% of all product purchases including custom tags, and by collecting donations from dog owners.

The net proceeds of all funds collected in Cobourg through our Safe and Happy Fund go to support Municipal Animal Services which provides sheltering services in the area.
