The District Council of Elliston recognises that pets are a very important part of our everyday life.

As companions, they fulfil a vital role in society by providing friendship and unconditional love for their owners.

A large percentage of dogs in our District are working dogs.  Working dogs provide an important role in farm life.

Elliston Council  is committed to supporting responsible pet ownership throughout the community.

Whether you're a dog or cat owner, this section provides information about the management of pets in our District.

In South Australia, all dogs and cats must be microchipped, desexed and registered in Dogs and Cats Online, the statewide database for dogs, cats, microchip, desexing and breeder registrations. (Some exemptions apply).
